Talk:Straight-three engine

message: My wife has one of these, with the 996CC 3 cylinder engine.
It has a 180-degree crank angle.
I'm extremely dubious about the statement that this is so unusual.  — Preceding unsigned comment added by Number774 (talk • contribs) 14:13, 20 December 2016 (UTC)

message: Valmet 565 tractors manufactured between 1964-68 had a straight-3 diesel engine with a displacement of 2685 cc. The engine configurations articles seem to be generally more about cars and motorcycles.
:I agree, some european tractor manufacturers like the Valmet 33, 359, 565 synchro etc., Nuffield (universal three), or Fordson (Marque of Ford tractors before late 1970's) in it's Dexta and Super Dexta, used diesel inline 3s as powerplants. These had a displacement of usually around 2- to 3-liters and they were notable in their time, for example Valmet's 3-cyl being one of the first of its kind to have direct injection. And these were far larger than the Alfa diesel, and appeared long before it did.  —Preceding unsigned comment added by 80.220.135.173 (talk) 13:17, 12 October 2007 (UTC)

It describes historic attempts to build a 180 degree inline triple compound expansion internal combustion engines. The outer pistons rise and fall in phase, firing alternately on the 4-stroke cycle. The centre piston is 180 degrees out of phase and has a larger displacement. The outer cylinders exhaust alternately into the inner cylinder, which therefore has one power stroke per revolution. As described, these were not successful due to high energy losses in the valves.Chris Corney (talk) 17:31, 15 June 2012 (UTC)
