Daniel Schmitz's advice on cylinder numbering is flawed !!!!!

As an Australian vehicle, Jack Newton's 1989 T3 Transporter campervan has right hand steering! So, number 1 cylinder is not "on the passenger side of the engine" !!! For him, that is number 3 !

Standing at the back of the vehicle and looking at the engine, number 1 is on the right closest to the flywheel while number 3 is on the left closest to the flywheel.
