Cylinder bank 1 location? (misfire)

i just had new plugs and magnecore wires put on at 116k miles and am now getting a misfire on cylinder bank 1 and quite a bit of vibration that happens when i'm in drive and letting of the brake slowly when at a stop.

the dealer tells me i have a "slight" misfire in cylinder bank 1 but its not causing any codes or CEL. i have read on the boards here that these magnecore wires have been known to have issues causing misfires so am guessing i have a bad wire. i replaced my flex disks, trans mounts and motor mounts so dont think its those.

can someone tell me the location of cylinder bank #1?

i know probably a dumb question but i searched and cannot find a diagram that explains the numbering of the cylinder banks. i will probably replace the wires on cylinder bank 1 and see if the culprit was the magnecores, or maybe something more to dig into.

thx
