Perhaps had you done your own research, your 318 would be working today ..... Bud!Thats twice now rick...... lets get on the same page bud!! Thats why I got a locked up 318......some chevy guy put thought number 1 is on the circ pump end
#1 cylinder will always be the Forward-Most cylinder.
The problem I got is you not knowing that the diagram you posted of the chrysler 318 is wrong, turn to page 2 Data and Specs from your Chrysler marine Manual
go down to firing order, then type what it says under the different firing orders so we all know
and please keep your overexplained,cloudy explainations of stuff you dont know about Chryslers
in the SBC forum
I would say that is correct!So that diagram says the Flywheel end is the rear of the engine? or aft which means rear nautically,correct????
Verbatim from the Book(Service Manual Chrysler marine 225 LM318)
The number 1 cylinder is the front cylinder on the LEFT side when viewed FROM THE REAR of the engine looking towards the water pump

Front of engine = the end where we'd find the circ pump, correct?The number 1 cylinder is the front cylinder
Left side would = Port side.... correct?on the LEFT side
REAR of engine would = flywheel end.... correct?when viewed FROM THE REAR of the engine
Would this not = looking towards the circ pump end.... IOW, the front of the engine where again "the number 1 cylinder is the front cylinder on the LEFT side"?looking towards the water pump
Well, that's my way of thinking also, Woodie!Are we talking about the same thing? Never heard of that before. If you're standing on the flywheel, number one is the furthest from you on left side. That's what I've always seen in every Chrysler MARINE manual and serviced.
I suspect that you got there on your own accord..................
Its confusing as a Ricardo post!!......................thats how I got here in the first place!!!
What you need to read is when your standing on the flywheel side looking at the engine ... period

the first or the front set of cylinders (the ones in front when your looking at it) THE FRONT CYLINDER ON THE LEFT SIDE

Front is a ****ty word, the ones closest to you is what it should say
