Looking from the front the drivers side is right side passenger is left.

Incorrect. The "point of view" is <ALWAYS> from the vehicle, or drivers' SEAT. If you look at the rockers, after you pull the covers (valve adjustment, I'm guessing) it will be fairly obvious which rockers are what, as the Passenger side rear 2 cylinders share the exhaust port, front one is single, and the Drivers' side is the opposite; front 2 cylinders share the exhaust.

Just using these 2.9 heads for a reference you can see which valve is intake and exhaust just by looking at the manifolds. the intake and exhaust valves line up with the manifolds. Your number one cylinder is on the passenger side up front it goes front to rear right (pass side) 1-2-3 left (drivers side) 4-5-6
