V6 engine animation

An animations of a v6 engine, 120 degree spread. An even fire engine with two pistons per crank pin. This is not a common v6 configuration because it makes the engine too wide to fit into most vehicles.

@yapanuwan You can share pins at less than 120 degres, but you have to splay the crank pins.

Waaa??

@yapanuwan 120 per piston yes

[yapanuwan]

If it weren't 120 degrees, then it can't have 2 pistons per crank pin. Correct?

@gooseknack ohk coool

@angrygunsmith Itg depends on the crank design, but usually a V6 is about the length of a 4 cylinder!

@hayden12w3 As mine, split crank 4.3 Chevrolet. 209 thousand miles.

@Brendon00000 Unless it's a crossplane V8, then things become more complicated. But I do agree with you, I still haven't figured out the V6. Especially the ones with those wacky split-pin cranks and stuff like that. Too much!

understanding a v8 is easy its basically 2 inline 4 engines combine but v6 this is tough to understand
