Cylinder numbers

[james05_r6]

So I looked through many posts and could not find a cylinder map or anything. I have a #4 Misfire according to the OBDII I need to know which clinder is #4 so I can change the plug and maybe wire/coil pack. Thanks

Looking at the engine from the front of the car, its the one on the far right

yea what he said ^

thanks I thought so.

so this is the spark plug...hard to see but the gap is as big as a piece of paper....I cannot even put an index card in it. Any suggestions as to why or how it got smashed that much? Also the #2 had some oil where as none of the others did.

Can't really see anything in that picture... but does the tip of the plug look like it's been hit or otherwise obviously damaged? Is there buildup on the conductor or anything that has closed the gap down?

wow, umm maybe you have something in the cylinders
like a vtcs butterfly or something, thats what happened to DJ DUB when his car was missfiring for a while

Check compression for the #2 cylinder. Make sure it isn't just valve cover oil leaking to the plug also.

+1 to checking the valve cover bolts. The manual doesn't call for them to be torqued down too hard, and that gasket has a lot of give to it. I noticed oil leaking from my valve cover, and 3 of the bolts were damn near finger loose!
