moose Posted January 16, 2007 Share Posted January 16, 2007 Only on my first cup of coffee so my brain is still a bit dull... and iam sure some one will be able to answer this very quickly if looking at the v8 block from the front (water pump end) is pot 1 the first on the left bank or the right? . This is just to clear up a discussion I am having thanks for the input...... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

geoffbeaumont Posted January 16, 2007 Share Posted January 16, 2007 On your right. Normally, right and left are considered from the point of view of sitting in the car, so that's actually the left cylinder bank: Front 1 - 2 3 - 4 5 - 6 7 - 8 Back Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cylinders 1, 3, 5, 7 - LH side of engine Cylinders 2, 4, 6, 8 - RH side of engine cos if i have done the manual i would have put the RH lin above the LH line and this engine rebuild has been on of those projects where you do lots, and then nuthing for a month or two so i now cant remember which pot i had at TDC when i did the timming chain and jameslwt you know that answer to that! too busy fixing landrovers and helping you Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
