My buddy just called me asking me which cylinder is #2 because the scanner is telling him it is misfiring. I am pretty sure it is the first cylinder on the passenger side, correct? Well that is what it is on my motor but I do not know if Chevy changed it for the newer motors.

 

your correct, first one on passengers side.

 

Driver's side are odd numbers, with 1 at the front and 7 at the back. Passenger side is even, 2 up front and 8 in the back.

 

Yeah...try to remember " right bank even,left bank odd (driver's perspective) " and that the front ones are the lowest numbers...#1 front of left bank,#2 front of right bank.

FWIW, Mopars are the same,Fords are not (or at least it used to be that way).

 

8~7
6~5
4~3
2~1

 

^^Thought I'd add some restated info. How many times can this be reiterated?!!

 

a little easier - #1 is nALWAYS on the cylinder head that sits further forward
