Just double checking. Are the cylinders on a V-6 numbered as follows:

Top port side = #1..........Top starboard = #2
Middle port side = #3.......Middle starboard = #4
Bottom port side = #5......Bottom starboard = #6

Re: V-6 Cylinder Numbering

look at the motor from the back. you will notice the plugs are not directly across from each other. the top cylinder is #1 then the one across from it is # 2.
