Ships
Contrary to most car engines, a ship's engine or a power plant engine is numbered from the flywheel end towards the free end.
In ship and power plant V-type engines the numbering is A1... and B1... where the A-bank is on the left hand side and the B-bank is on the right hand side, looking from the flywheel end.
