- 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

- Suggest you take another look at your TR6 crank. I believe you'll see that the journals are indeed separated by 120 degrees, with #1 and #6 being in one plane, 5 and 2 in another, 3 and 4 in the thi

- Indeed, Kai, my TR6 crankshaft was multi-planar. Cylinders 1 & 6 are on one plane, cylinders 2 % 5 are on one plane, and cylinders 3 & 4 are on the last plane. I can't verify that they are all separa

- Don't forget, these engines are 4 stroke machines (the crank makes two full revoltions for each cylinder to fire once.) on a four cylinder engine, all the journals are in the same plane. A water whee

- Which is where the 120 degrees comes from. 720 degrees (2x360) to complete a full cycle, divided by 6 cylinders, gives a firing every 120 crank degrees (for an "even fire" engine) Yes, assuming it's
