How are the cylinders numbered on a 1997 f150 4.6l v8?

The cylinders in a 1997 Ford F-150 4.6L V8 are numbered sequentially from the passenger side (right side when looking at the engine from the front) to the driver's side (left side). They are arranged in a V configuration.

The firing order is usually important for identifying which is which, but the numbering itself is consistent:

* Passenger Side (Right): 1, 3, 5, 7

* Driver's Side (Left): 2, 4, 6, 8

Therefore, cylinder 1 is the front-most cylinder on the passenger side, and cylinder 2 is the front-most cylinder on the driver's side. Numbering then continues consecutively from front to back on each side.
