Engine sides are always designated as vieb/ed from the main pTO end.

J!:1ltt bank cylinders are designated "A" and the right bank,'8" (according to
DiN Standard No. 6265).

The cylinders of each bank are numbered consecutively, startjng with No. I at the
main PTO end.

Numbering of other engine components is also from the ma1n pTO end, start.ing with
No. t.
