Ford 3.5L Cylinder Identification and Bank Identification

I this video I go over the cylinder identification and the bank identification on a Ford 3.5L V-6. This information is applicable to Ford vehicles that have the 3.5L engine in it from around 2006-present day. (including the 3.5L ecoboost). The cylinder id is 1,2,3 from front to the back of the right side of the engine and 4,5,6 from the front to the back of the left side of the engine. The side of the engine that has cylinders 1-3 is known as "bank 1" and the side of the engine that has cylinders 4-6 is known as "bank 2".

A senior tech mentioned to me a while back that all Fords, 3.5l v-6 or not, will always have there cylinders numbered in numerical order. If it's a v-8 cyinders 1-4 with always be on the right bank, bank 1, and the cylinders will be numbered 1,2,3,4 from front to back and the left bank, bank 2, will have cylinders 5-8 and the cylinders will be numbered 5,6,7,8 from the front of the engine to the rear. A V-6 is numbered as the video shows. A four cylinder is numbered 1-4 starting with cylinder 1 at the front of the engine and ending will 4 at the rear of the engine. V10s are similarly ordered. The right bank will have cylinders 1-5 and the left bank will have cylinders 6-10....... I have yet to prove this guy wrong.
