Jarrid,
can you help this guy out? You know far more about this stuff than I.
Christopher
Dear Chris:
My names Dan.I've currently inroled in an automotive technology
program.I have been assigned to write a report on Crankshafts.I have a
general understanding of the function of the crankshaft.I know that it
transfers the power from the pistons to the flywheel and ultimatly to
the drive train.My questions to are about crankshaft throw to stroke.
My questions are.
1.I know that crankshaft throws in 4 cyl.engine are 180 degrees apart
and the banks are separated by 90 degrees. In a V-6 the throws are 120
apart and the banks are separated 60 degrees.In a V-8 the throws 90
degrees apart and banks are separted 90 degrees.
1A. First of all tell me if I'm right?
1B.Does the throw change from the V to in-line design?
2.My second question is can two connecting rods be connected to the
same journal,if so will this change the throw in all cylinder designs
from inline engines,To V type designs.
3.My third and question is how does throw affect the lenght of the
piston stroke?
4.Can pistons fire simultainously?
Chris if you could answer this questions for me I would greatly
appreciate it.Or if you can't can you possibly direct me to someone
that can.If you can't already tell I'm a novice to the field, so any
feedback you could give me would be helpful.My E-Mail address is

Thanks.
