In some configurations a special crankshaft is required to achieve even firing.
Special in what way? In all configurations the crankshaft needs to be designed for even firing, or you won't get it. In some engines, such as the straight-2, the crankshaft design is a compromise between mechanical engine balance and even firing. Andrewa 06:34, 25 October 2005 (UTC)
[edit] V18 link
The "V18" link leads to a redirect back to this page. Obviously, a page about V18s (I'm assuming there are some) would be nice, but in the meantime perhaps this ought to be delinkified or the redirect removed. It sure confused me for a minute. --P1h3r1e3d13 05:44, 28 February 2007 (UTC)
[edit] True V-engine
This subject keeps appearing all over the place but even here is no information about the authorities behind the claims and what exactly is the generally accepted truth? I would also like to see more information about the german way of identifying separate pin crank V2s as boxers. As far as I can tell the boxers unique stability chraracteristics are achieved only by using a 180° bank angle. The separate pin v2s, despite using a crank similar to the boxers, have problems similar to the V-Twins. Could someone check this article thoroughly and find somekind of fact to backup the claims. In Finland we would call some of the information found in this article as "mutu-tieto", meaning an information which is based on writers feelings rather than facts... —Preceding unsigned comment added by 80.220.135.173 (talk) 12:11, 12 October 2007 (UTC)
