gasoline engines
- There are two types of piston configurations available on Ford passenger cars and light trucks: In-line (I-4) and V-type (V6, V8 or V10).In-line engine — has all of the cylinders in a single line with the pistons moving vertically in the cylinders.
- Pairs of pistons are located 180 degrees of crankshaft revolution from one another in an in-line 4-cylinder engine
- V-angle engine — has cylinder banks formed in a V-type engine design, measured in degrees.
- A 60-degree V6 is narrow by design and has excellent natural balance characteristics
- Engine vibration is reduced as the number of cylinders is increased, whatever the V-angle, because the impulse of each cylinder firing occurs more frequently.
