At least on a small block, the ports go IEEIIEEI, so if you're watching the rockers they won't match each other front to back. Two of the cylinders will be opposite the other two.

Is it just cranking and never firing?



big and small block: E-II-EE-II-E
For the original poster's above comparison you have to figure in the firing order for the valve opening and closing sequence.
