Default Identify Cylinders in 2.8

I've been searching *everywhere* for the last hour for information on determining which cylinder is which in my '98 2.8 V6 and I can't find it.

Can someone tell me how to identify the number for each cylinder?!?!?

Thanks!

Default if you take the plastic covers off there's nice big numbers cast into the valve covers.

also, plug wires are numbered. (might have to look under the protective covers)

also, the plug connections on the coilpacks are numbered.

and IIRC, i believe the left front is 1 and right front is 4 (you figure it out from there) but i could have it backwards or sideways.

Sheeshh...

I can't tell you how many times I've been under those plastic covers and I can't recall seeing those numbers... Thanks.
