8BA Question
What's the norm for marking your valves after seating them in new sleeves?? Is 1 thru 4 on the passenger side by the distributor or the drivers side??

Re: 8BA Question
Ford cylinders are numbered front to back starting with the passenger front cylinder as one. The passenger rear cylinder is 4. The driver front cylinder is 5 and the driver rear cylinder is 8.

Re: 8BA Question
V8 or V6 engine blocks will have one side @ one inch ahead of the other due to the rod connections to the crank.

The reason I ask is that some machine shops will mark the numbers in the order of the cylinders (front to back). So, it is important to know what the machine shop did. |
