I expected to find this info pretty easy both here and on Inet, but didn't.

The firing order was easy to find: 1-8-7-3-6-5-4-2
But when looking at numbering neigher the GM or Ford schema makes sense given the firi8ng order.

GM is using [top of the table is front of the engine]

LHRH
12
34
56
78

Ford

LHRH
15
26
37
48

So what's the numbering for Toyota 3UR-FE ?
 
Thanks for the find. It answers the cylinder numbering. That post is showing Toyota using GM convention for numbering the cylinders (somewhat expected). But the firing order is for a small block Chevy (picture as such).

The post also points to engine-specs.net and on that web site I found...
The 2ZU-FE has 1-8-4-3-6-5-7-2 that makes sense if we use the same cylinder numbering. Same order is listed here

But engine-specs.net lists 1-8-7-3-6-5-4-2 for 3UR-FE, which doesn't look right to me. And it is the only source listing this order.

Here Information About The Toyota UR Series Engine | Olathe Toyota Parts Center - https://parts.olathetoyota.com/ur-series-engine is listing the same firing order for 3UR-FE as 1UR-FE.
Wikipedia is saying that manufacturers change firing order on same engine on different generations or applications. So I cannot just asume the same firing order was kept between the old and new LC/Tundra engines.

So which is it? Is there a definitive answer? Can that be found in Techstream?

I spent some time digging into the FSM but didn’t find anything promising. I’m surprised by that though.. not willing to give up yet. More later.
 
I also dug through FSM both mechanical and general (the specs) and come empty handed.
