Right is always from the point of view of the driver. So when you're
under the hood from the front, it is to the left. And when you are
looking from the back or the passenger compartment, it is on the right.

If you're in the use or another country with the steering wheel on the
left, it's the passenger side.

If you're in the UK or another country with the steering wheel on the
right, it's the driver's side.

Just to clear it up.... #5 is the front cylinder on the drivers side.

Ford numbers the cylinders of a vee engine as if each bank is separate
inline engine, with the number of the cylinders in the second bank
starting where the first bank cylinder numbers ended. Bank one is the
bank most forward of the flywheel. The cylinders in that bank start
with 1. For a V-8, the cylinders in that bank are number 1 thru 4.
Bank two cylinders are numbered 5 thru 8. See:

With such a large engine, did the driver sit in the back seat ?

Ed... make that "gas" engines.... diesels are numbered with the "odds" on
the right hand side and the "evens" on the left...

For the OP (and everyone else).... the "accepted industry practice" is to
view the corners of the car (yes... even "Escape" cars") from a point of
view as if we were sitting in the drivers seat.... Confusing for some since,
when we face the front of the car, the left side "feels" like the right
side...

Top-postingly yours.....

I assume that the #1 cylinder is still the cylinder farthest from the
flywheel, whether it is on the left or the right.

Yes, Ed... #1 and #8 are both in their "rightful" places... everything else
is jumbled up to suit navistars view of the world..

Lord only knows what will happen when Ford starts marketing their own
diesel.... It's already almost a chore to keep gas and diesel straight in
the old guys brain...
