[AT] Just wondering

[Gene Dotson]

    As far as aircraft engines, a mechanic told me the first cylinder to 
arrive on the scene is always number one. Of course this pertains airplanes 
with tractor rotation. Pusher engines like the Cessna Skymaster with pusher 
rear engine, the number one is naturally the one closest to the propeller.

cyl on the bank farthest forward would be the number 1 cyl, Doug T
