- Let me initially say that I am nearly ignorant of modern engines. That As I was trying to fall asleep last night, I began to wonder why the crank for my inline six (TR6) motor has all of the journals

- I'm glad I'm not the only gear-head that goes to sleep thinking techno-stuff. The issue is primarily one of balance. Yes, the TR6 and MG "B" engines are single plane crankshaft designs. They are rath

- There are very long equations for the 1st, 2nd and 3rd harmonics that govern the design compromises made to reduce dynamic vibration. Your TR6 is pumping out 250 power strokes per second at redline a

- Another factor may be that a flat crank inline 6 engine is naturally balanced in relation to both first and second order vibrations. So there is no need to get tricky (or more expensive) with the cra

- ...and that is exactly why Ferrari's V12 engines are actually two L6's joined at the crank. :-) Rick Lindsay Diamond Geoscience Research 5727 S. Lewis Ave., Tulsa, OK Voice: +1 918-747-3456 Fax: +1 9
