Can someone tell me the numbering of the cylinders on a model Fifteen? Before I get any dumb answers, I’m guessing it is typical 1,2,3,4? Is it numbered from front or from the back? Thanks

Hi Wig,
there are no dumb questions, except for the one that is not asked and a goof up results.

The Engine Cylinders on a Fifteen will be numbered from the front of the engine.

Firing order is 1-3-4-2.

Valve Lash 0.008" all valves-cold.

Hope this helps.
Cheers,
Eddie B.

Is there any way to check the intake manifold for leaks while it is on the machine? My exhaust heat transfer jacket is rusted and exploded.
