How is the right and left side position of engine determined from looking at grill in or drivers seat out.?

The terms "right" and "left" for engine position are always determined from the *driver's seat*.

* Left-hand drive (LHD): In most of the world, the driver sits on the left. Looking from the driver's seat, an engine on the left is a "left-side engine" and one on the right is a "right-side engine".

* Right-hand drive (RHD): In some countries (like the UK, Japan, Australia), the driver sits on the right. Again, the engine position is described from the driver's perspective. So, in a RHD car, an engine on the right is a "left-side engine" and one on the left is a "right-side engine".

The grill's position doesn't directly indicate engine placement. While the grill might *seem* to offer a clue, its position is often influenced by styling choices and doesn't reliably reflect engine position. Always use the driver's seat as your reference point.
