  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 ...

  3. Straight-seven engine - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Straight-seven_engine

    Straight-seven engine with firing order 1-3-5-7-2-4-6. A straight-seven engine or inline-seven engine is a straight engine with seven cylinders. It is more common in marine applications because these engines are usually based on a modular design, with individual heads per cylinder.

  4. Radial engine - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Radial_engine

    Extra "rows" of radial cylinders can be added in order to increase the capacity of the engine without adding to its diameter. Four-stroke radials have an odd number of cylinders per row, so that a consistent every-other-piston firing order can be maintained, providing smooth operation. For example, on a five-cylinder engine the firing order is ...

  5. Engine balance - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Engine_balance

    360° crankshaft: This configuration creates the highest levels of primary and secondary imbalance, equivalent to that of a single cylinder engine.; [4] but the even firing order provides smoother power delivery (albeit without the overlapping power strokes of engines with more than four cylinders).

  6. Jacobs R-755 - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jacobs_R-755

    The R-755 was first run in 1933 and was still in production in the 1970s. With a bore and stroke of 5.25 in × 5 in (133 mm × 127 mm) the displacement was 757 cu in (12.4 L), power ranged from 200 hp to 350 hp (150 kW - 260 kW).

  7. Rotary engine - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rotary_engine

    Like "fixed" radial engines, rotaries were generally built with an odd number of cylinders (usually 5, 7 or 9), so that a consistent every-other-piston firing order could be maintained, to provide smooth running. Rotary engines with an even number of cylinders were mostly of the "two row" type.

  8. Straight-eight engine - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Straight-eight_engine

    Delage straight-eight racing engine Straight-eight engine with firing order 1-4-7-3-8-5-2-6. The straight-eight engine or inline-eight engine (often abbreviated as I8) is an eight-cylinder internal combustion engine with all eight cylinders mounted in a straight line along the crankcase.

  9. Chevrolet Inline-4 engine - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chevrolet_Inline-4_engine

    The Chevrolet Inline-4 engine was one of Chevrolet's first automobile engines, designed by Arthur Mason and introduced in 1913. Chevrolet founder Billy Durant, who previously had owned Buick which had pioneered the overhead valve engine, used the same basic engine design for Chevrolet: exposed pushrods and rocker arms which actuated valves in the detachable crossflow cylinder head.
