This is a list of automobile assembly plants in Ontario, Canada. Ontario produces more vehicles than any other jurisdiction in North America, with six of the world's top manufacturers operating assembly plants in Windsor , Brampton , Oakville , Alliston , Woodstock , Cambridge , Ingersoll , and Oshawa .
The crankshaft configuration varies amongst opposed-engine designs. One layout has a flat/boxer engine at its center and adds an additional opposed-piston to each end so there are two pistons per cylinder on each side. An X engine is essentially two V engines joined by a common crankshaft. A majority of these were existing V-12 engines ...
Animation of a two-stroke engine. A two-stroke (or two-stroke cycle) engine is a type of internal combustion engine that completes a power cycle with two strokes of the piston (one up and one down movement) in one revolution of the crankshaft in contrast to a four-stroke engine which requires four strokes of the piston in two crankshaft revolutions to complete a power cycle.
Boxer crankshaft configuration. Most flat-twin engines use a boxer configuration for the crankshaft and are therefore called "boxer-twin" engines. In a boxer-twin engine, the 180° crankshaft moves the pistons in phase with each other, therefore the forces generated by one piston are cancelled out by the other, resulting in excellent primary balance.

The two crankshafts are connected with a special transmission that rotates the four-stroke crankshaft at twice the speed of the two stroke crankshaft. In the M4+2, the advantages of both engines being connected are obvious; the pistons of the engine working in one combustion cylinder are set opposite to each other but in different modes ...
[2] Among the 17 vehicles assembled in Canada, [needs update] excluding assembly costs, the amount of Canadian parts content in the average vehicle assembled in Canada was $4,105 in 2016 or 17.2% of the overall parts content, according to a study by DesRosiers. [3] The number has fluctuated between 25.6% and as low as 13% in recent years. [3]
Two-stroke engines which use crankcase compression do not require a crankcase ventilation system, since all of the gases within the crankcase are then fed into the combustion chamber. Many small four-stroke engines such as lawn mower engines and electricity generators simply use a draught tube connected to the intake system.
