Engines with multiple banks are shorter than straight engines of the same size, and will often have better engine balance characteristics, resulting in reduced engine vibration and potentially higher maximum engine speeds. Most engines with four or less cylinders use a straight engine layout, and most engines with eight cylinders or more use a ...
This OHV (overhead valve) engine was produced through 1953. With a cylinder bore of 3.5625 inches (90.49 mm), this is the smallest low-deck engine. All four low-deck engines have a stroke of 3.8125 inches (96.84 mm) and used 7 inch long connecting rods.
An overhead valve engine, abbreviated (OHV) and sometimes called a pushrod engine, is a piston engine whose valves are located in the cylinder head above the combustion chamber. This contrasts with flathead (or "sidevalve") engines , where the valves were located below the combustion chamber in the engine block .
Part of the Hercules DFX series, the DFXE is a naturally aspirated, direct injection,overhead valve, inline six-cylinder engine. [1] [2] The engine had a displacement of 855 cu in (14.011 L), with a bore of 5 + 5 ⁄ 8 in (143 mm), a stroke of 6 in (150 mm) and a compression ratio of 14.8:1.
The Buick straight 6 was an overhead valve (OHV) straight-six cylinder automobile engine manufactured by Buick from 1914 to 1930. Produced in displacements from 191 to 331 cu in (3.1 to 5.4 L), it was initially used exclusively in the Buick Six platform, later in the Buick Master Six and Buick Standard Six.
Unlike the Double-Six engines, which used sleeve valves based on the Knight patents, the Straight-Eights used conventional poppet valves in the overhead valve configuration. Three series of Straight-Eight engines were built between 1934 and the outbreak of the Second World War in 1939; another series, the DE36, was built after the war from 1946 ...
The engine's small size was dictated by Japan's kei car rules which offered special status to vehicles with engines displacing less than 360 cc (22 cu in). Mazda's tiny OHV was the only four-cylinder in the class in the 1960s, but was outperformed by 2-stroke and I3 powerplants from other companies.
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. The type has been produced in side-valve, IOE, overhead-valve, sleeve-valve, and overhead-cam configurations.
