  2. Firing order - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Firing_order

    For this inline-4 engine, 1-3-4-2 could be a valid firing order. The firing order of an internal combustion engine is the sequence of ignition for the cylinders. In a spark ignition (e.g. gasoline/petrol) engine, the firing order corresponds to the order in which the spark plugs are operated. In a diesel engine, the firing order corresponds to ...

  7. Engine balance - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Engine_balance

    90° V angle: This design historically derives from chopping two cylinders off a 90° V8 engine, in order to reduce design and construction costs. An early example is the 3.3 L (200 cu in) and 3.8 L (229 cu in) Chevrolet 90° V6 engines , which have an 18° offset crankshaft resulting in an uneven firing interval.

  8. General Motors LS-based small-block engine - Wikipedia

    The cylinder firing order was changed to 1-8-7-2-6-5-4-3 [43] so that the LS series now corresponds to the firing pattern of other modern V8 engines (for example the Ford Modular V8). 3.898 in. bore blocks (1997–2005)

  9. Flat-twin engine - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Flat-twin_engine

    Boxer crankshaft configuration. Most flat-twin engines use a boxer configuration for the crankshaft and are therefore called "boxer-twin" engines. In a boxer-twin engine, the 180° crankshaft moves the pistons in phase with each other, therefore the forces generated by one piston are cancelled out by the other, resulting in excellent primary balance.
