That's good, this idea can live outside my head now.
Regarding cylinder numbering the GM LS convention is cylinder 1 is on the front left corner of the car (front mounted...

Dang, lost my reply.
Cheers! I'm not talking about using crossplane crankshafts in place of flatplane crankshafts, just wondering why nobody has tried an alternative crossplane configuration. While they aren't common, the pros and cons of inline 4s with crossplane crankshafts are fairly well...
Hi all,
I've been pondering crankshaft orientation for a while and am trying to work out why all V8 crankshafts are "up left right down" and not "up down left right"
Intuitively and based on fairly simple calculations it appears that the latter configuration would reduce the first order...
