ok i see but i still find it hard to beleve that I6 cranks can be used in a v12...cuz arnt 6's cranks have on rod per journal?? and 12's have a wider journal for 2 rods to fit right?
They are the same coz a V12 is two straight sixes side by side. Its the reason why V12's are naturally balanced. A V12 has one crank pin for an opposite pair of cylinders thats why straight 6 cranks can be used as V12 cranks.
With very thin connecting rods a 6 crank would work in a v12.
Many angles involved.
I suppose axial jet engines don't use a v configuration for some complex reason.

Gm made a 32 valve v8 engine in 1990.
Plus the northstar cadillac engine and probably more to name.
