Talk:V engine

message: 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)

message: 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)

message: Someone posted what would seem to be a discussion comment in the article referring to the german terminology. The comment noted that, rather than referring to all V engines as boxer engines German disstinguished between the two. Not knowing what is correct I left it there, however, someone with the appropriate knowledge should change it.  —Preceding unsigned comment added by 74.105.149.62 (talk) 23:17, 30 November 2009 (UTC)
thread_title: German terminology

message: Writer makes reference to "The Vee configuration generally reduces the overall engine length, height and weight compared to an equivalent inline configuration." which is not attributed. I take issue with the claim regarding weight, specifically. Inline engines have half the moving parts and require less material. This unattributed claim is counter-intuitive. Please reference or remove.  —Preceding unsigned comment added by 130.126.138.4 (talk) 17:30, 22 December 2009 (UTC)

message: Wouldn't it be favorable to have an entry/link to the deltic-engine also? --87.163.92.168 (talk) 15:40, 8 July 2014 (UTC)
replies: text: If Deltic engines are refered to as a V-engine is a bit questionable, but I tend to agree that it would be beneficial to have it as a supplemental info in See Also.  Yiba (talk | contribs) 02:28, 9 July 2014 (UTC)

thread_title:  Pontiac 3.6 vvt crankshaft position sensor 

message: I noticed that the page for a U engine has a GIF to help visualize how that engine works, but the V engine design does not. I understand that a V engine is in general more widely known, but it still helps if you are researching the basics of engine design (and figuring out the basics of topics was what encyclopedias were made for, which is still a use-case for Wikipedia). I don't have the knowledge to create this myself, but I figured I would at least make a thread for it here as a way to ask for such a thing. Thanks in advance. 2600:2B00:A910:9400:F694:AB4:212E:CFDC (talk) 00:33, 17 July 2023 (UTC)
