I'm confused. The Manual says: both bank A and B have the same numbers and go from 1234 (1 in the front engine). Does that mean bank B has cylinder 8 on the driver's side in the back of the engine?

Thanks for helping a newbie.

 

Right bank (passenger's side U.S. car) = A bank. #1 at front, #4 at rear

Left bank = B bank. #5 in front, #8 at rear

 

A picture is worth a thousand words.

 

Thanks guys. BTW I saw that picture I just didn't understand why bank B has the same cylinder numbers as bank A instead of 5-8.

 

those silly brits!

 

Jaguar changed the cylinder definitions between ' 98 and '02 When and why I do not know, but its there in the documentation. EDITED! The book shows front to back on the right side as (1)1, (1),2 (1)3, (1)4, then the left as (2) 1, 2(2) and so on. The (1) or two(2) becomes A or B in some designations. As test point pointed out, my original post was wrong and the correct post 2002 designation is odd numbers right side and even left, front to back.

 

Actually, 1,3,5,7 on the right, 2,4,6,8 on the left, just like all the US car makers have done for 60 years.
