I think the pattern is:
9 5 1 3 7
10 6 2 4 8, off the top of my head.

Is the 1 on the intake or exhaust side?

You said main studs... not head studs. If you meant those at the crank girdle, the order is main cap 3, 2, 4, 1, and then 5... exhaust side first, then the intake side. If you label them 1 thru 10, beginning at main cap one with the odd number on the exhaust side... the order would be 5,6,3,4,7,8,1,2,9,10.

If you use the picture that you posted above as a guide, and you are standing at the BOTTOM of the picture (like you took the picture)...

The exhaust side is the TOP row and the intake side is the bottom row. So the numbers that I gave would begin at the top right hand corner of the block pictured... odd numbers on top, even numbers on the bottom. So, as you see it in the pic, the top row of studs would be, from LEFT to RIGHT: 9,7,5,3,1. The bottom row of studs would be, from LEFT to RIGHT: 10,8,6,4,2.

Does this make sense to you now ???
