What is the cylinder firing order for 2002 Civic LX D17A1 engine?

Can I get to top dead center (TDC) without removing the tire? What tools do I need?

Thanks.

Firing order is 1, 3, 4, 2. I think if you turn the steering wheel all the way to the left you can sneak a 19mm socket with a good 18"+ extension through the driver wheel well splash panel to turn it over. Removing spark plugs will help. Only rotate the crankshaft bolt counter-clockwise.

What are you trying to do?
