maybe That is why your builder decide two change the cylinder 🤷♂️
Yes, that's why, the direct line between #4 and the pump has the engine mount directly in-between. Looking at rotating the cylinder inlet elbow.

That's my initial thought as well, but didn't want to assume.

Wasn't that bad, only the lowers were swapped between #2 and #4 at the water pump.
