Cars and Automobiles: What makes the I6, V8, V12 or W18 engines inherently balanced as opposed to I4s?
I'm curious about cars and automobile engines. What makes the I6, V8, V12 or W18 engines inherently balanced as opposed to I4s?
The I6, V8, V12 and W18 engines are inherently balanced because they have an even number of cylinders. This means they have two sets of evenly spaced pistons that move in opposite directions, which cancels out any vibrations caused by the engine. On the other hand, I4 engines only have one set of pistons, which can create more vibration and be less smooth in operation.
