My name is Nick and I am from the Bad River Indian Reservation in Wisconsin, I am the Water Resources Tech. for the Natural Resources Dept. the reason that I became a member is that I really want to expand on the little knowledge that I have in the diagnostics of engines, I guess one could call me a parts changer/guesser. That is going to change! right now I am just trying to distinguish the difference between "bank 1" and "bank 2" I don't know which is which. don't know how to tell the difference or which side is 1 and which is 2? and when they say left bank right bank is that perspective from sitting in the divers' seat or looking at the car standing in the front of it? I am really looking forward to being a longtime member
Thanks for taking the time to teach me this valuable info
Nick
Welcome to the forum!
Bank one is the one that has the number one cylinder, it usually sticks out father then bank two. It's different from engine to engine, so if you aren't sure the best thing is to look it up.
Left and right however are always the same, from the perspective of the drivers seat. If it is a transverse mounted engine then left or right could be front or back, just picture yourself on top of the transmission.
