What is the number location of each cylinder on Ford 5.4 v8?

The firing order of a Ford 5.4L V8 engine is crucial for understanding cylinder location. However, the *physical* location of the cylinders isn't easily described with just numbers. It's a V configuration, meaning cylinders are arranged in two banks of 3-3 at an angle.

Instead of just numbers, let's use a more descriptive approach:

Think of the engine as facing you.

* Passenger side (Right): Cylinders 1, 3, 5

* Driver side (Left): Cylinders 2, 4, 6, 8

The firing order (the sequence in which the cylinders ignite) is typically 1-5-4-8-6-3-7-2. Using this firing order and the above side designations helps determine the relative location within each bank. There is no single "number location" as they are arranged in a V and each bank is offset from the other. You need a diagram or the engine itself to visually confirm the exact position of each cylinder.
