Isn’t the ignition order wrong, too? Would a three cylinder fire sequentially, or wouldn’t it fire 1-3-2 or something

1-3-2 is the same as 3-2-1 which is also sequential, just in the other way. Would it change anything? Seems pretty equivalent to me.

That makes sense. It doesn’t matter what the crank order is, the ignition order will be sequential.

1-3-2-1-3-2

3-1-2-3-1-2

2-3-1-2-3-1

2-1-3-2-1-3
