Okay so I just got into a dumb argument with a friend on where the No. 1 Cylinder is on a B18.

I'm almost positive that it is the one on driver side, closest to cam "gears", furthest from dizzy and he said it was the opposite one. So we decided to look online and sure enough there were suggestions for BOTH??? so who is right? Call me a noob BUT i'd really like to know, because it pertains to my timing belt and I refuse to turn the car on until i'm 100% sure.

 

N0.1 cylinder is the one furthest from your dizzy and closes to your cams. In this case you are right.

 

#1 cylinder is the cylinder RIGHT next to the timing belt

i had same problem i was putting #1 plug wire on #4 piston.

 

im having trouble myself my timing jumped a few teeth while i was sitting at a stop sign and stopped my motor well my distributor burnt up at the same time im not good at timing and any shots around my area doesnt wanna do it.

 

its all the same.

 

well idk whats mine doin i pulled block apart head and bottom end is fine it just locks up rite after it starts im so stumped this is the 4th time i pull my motor apart.

 

Maybe you should start your own thread

 

is a B20 the same? I would think so??

 

Yes, the firing order of a B20 is the same as the B16A. For reference (and clarification), all Honda/Acura 4-cylinder engines identify cylinder #1 as the one closest to the timing gears/belt/chain.
