| | | (...) Here is my V8 with 5 bearings. It has standard small block chev firing order, and uses the FOS system to simulate spark plugs/injectors. The only downside is that using the Technic mounts means it doesn't have the correct 90 degree angle (...) (20 years ago, 19-Feb-05, to lugnet.technic, FTX)

Back to the radial engine, the design for the crankshaft is very nicely done. Any plans to put it in a (...) (20 years ago, 20-Feb-05, to lugnet.technic, FTX)

| | | | (...) Good design Ross! I was actually talking about the crankshaft; not the firing order. To clarify more, I meant that if someone can make a crankshaft that goes 4 directions and also fits into TLC's modern cylinder-piston design (while also not (...)

| | | | (...) It's hard to see in those pics, but the crankshaft DOES go in 4 directions to get the correct firing order, big ends 1&4 are 180 degrees apart, and 2&3 are also 180 degrees from each other and 90 degrees from 1&4 (see below). The extra stud (...) (20 years ago, 20-Feb-05, to lugnet.technic, FTX)

(future tense) I'll post some pictures of the 3 butchered crankshafts I have as soon as I can. (...) (20 years ago, 21-Feb-05, to lugnet.technic, FTX)

(URL) It has four possitions on the crank and the engine block can be 8 studs in length. (...) (20 years ago, 22-Feb-05, to lugnet.technic, FTX)

That could be a problem in shorter vehicles, but not insurmountable, I think. (...) Looks great - (...) (20 years ago, 22-Feb-05, to lugnet.technic, FTX)
