* One bank might be cylinders 1, 3, 5, and 7.
* The other bank would be cylinders 2, 4, 6, and 8.
Therefore, there isn't a single "designated number cylinder" for a bank of four in a V8. The bank itself contains cylinders with numbers 1, 3, 5, and 7 (in one common numbering system) or 2, 4, 6, and 8 (in the other bank). You would need to consult the engine's specific documentation (owner's manual, service manual) to be certain of the numbering scheme for that particular engine.
