				Cylinder order
			 
 
			Can someone share a pic or tell me - yes I did a search on google and couldn't find what I needed - the cylinder order for a 2.7?  Meaning is it 135 and 246 on the left and right sides etc.

			Jager and the picture are both correct.  The confusion is that the picture is a 996 motor.

			Cylinders 1 - 2 - 3 are on the passenger side (US), with cylinder 1 being the front (Boxster) and 4 - 5 - 6 are on the driver's side (US), cylinder 4 being the front. 
 If you work on GM motors... odd numbers are on one side, even numbers on the other.

			My bad, I should have read the OP more closely.  #1, #2 and #3 are on the passenger side.
 I read the OP as a question as to which side #1 was on.
