Quick check, cylinder numbering

bugnout · **Posted:** Sat Jan 16, 2010 4:21 pm

I've been searching the FSM, appears cylinder numbering is from back to front, that is #4 cylinder is at the radiator and #1 is at the transmission.

Can anyone give me a quick confirmation?

Ok so no quick response, still looking for confirmation

I can't say for sure, but every engine I have ever worked on, the number one cyclinder starts at the timing belt and goes back, or to the side depending on how it is mounted.

There have been some Glow Plug error codes where the count is back to front - it wasn't clear if that was intentional or an error.

so a definite maybe

or let me restate that with less confidence.
It's Italian -
it's not outside the realm of possibility that they intended it that way - but it would sure be weird.

The glow plug harness on some (ALL?) were put on backwards :banghead:

That's why the error codes seem backwards :mrgreen:

As I recall MrMopar stated the glow plug connector with the white dot was supposed to be #1 and that's the front one.

Ok, more reading and I had it all backwards

Cylinder 1 is in the front, 4 is in the back.

Surprisingly hard to find that info in the FSM, I guess its just expected norm on an inline engine.
