I would say those are cylinders 2 & 4. Your cooling tin will have a number embossed on it, on the outer-most up side of it. Starting from the throttle body, you will see the intake runners, they'll curve down, you'll see the injectors, then the cooling tin and the embossed number, about a 1/2" in size. That number will be the cylinder number of the engine. Another way. Standing at the very rear of the car, looking down on the engine. Cylinder #1 is at the top, right. Cylinder #2 is at the bottom, right. Cylinder #3 is at the top, left. Cylinder #4 is at the bottom, left. You need to know which cylinders are being affected, particularly when it comes time for you to adjust your valves! Buy an Idiot's Guide at the very least. Very good book for beginners.
