Straight-five engines typically use a firing order of 1-2-4-5-3, in order to minimise the primary vibration from the rocking couple. Straight-six engines typically use a firing order of 1-5-3-6-2-4, which results in perfect primary and secondary balance. However, a firing order of 1-2-4-6-5-3 is common on medium-speed marine engines.
In practical use, a V-6 engine would only need three coil packs instead of six. The coilpack fires the spark plugs in two cylinders simultaneously so for example 1&4/2&5/3&6 cylinders fire together, the spark plug in one cylinder on a compression stroke is where the power comes from, and the spark plug in the other cylinder on an exhaust stroke ...
In the Jota, a "flat-plane" crankshaft was used which has cylinders 1 and 3 offset by 360° while the second one is offset by 180° from the outer cylinders. Triumph Motorcycles Ltd is another company that used a different firing order on an inline-three and introduced a "T-plane" crankshaft on the 2020 Tiger 900. In this case, cylinders 1 and ...
An ignition coil is used in the ignition system of a spark-ignition engine to transform the battery voltage to the much higher voltages required to operate the spark plug(s). The spark plugs then use this burst of high-voltage electricity to ignite the air-fuel mixture. The ignition coil is constructed of two sets of coils wound around an iron ...
An early example is the 3.3 L (200 cu in) and 3.8 L (229 cu in) Chevrolet 90° V6 engines, which have an 18° offset crankshaft resulting in an uneven firing interval. Newer examples, such as the Honda C engine, use 30° offset crank pins, resulting in an even firing interval. As per V6 engines with 60° V angles, these engines have primary ...
The cylinder firing order was changed to 1-8-7-2-6-5-4-3 [43] so that the LS series now corresponds to the firing pattern of other modern V8 engines (for example the Ford Modular V8). 3.898 in. bore blocks (1997–2005)

Animation of the 1-2-4-5-3 firing order MAN B&W 5S50MC 1,865 litre marine diesel engine. Straight-five engines are typically shorter than straight-six engines, making them easier to fit transversely in an engine bay. [1] They are also smoother than straight-four engines, [1] and are narrower than V engines [2] and flat engines.
