The cylinder arrangement and firing order are the same for all third-generation HEMI engines, which include the 5.7-liter and three larger-displacement engines in different versions.

Take the humble four-cylinder engine, for example –four pistons, four strokes, four pairs of valves (at least), four sparkplugs, and four connecting rods. All of the above work in conjunction to ...

To understand acoustic differences between V8s, V6s, and other kinds of engines, one must consider how and when an engine functions. Firing order, crankshaft type, intake and exhaust, and camshaft ...

No seven-cylinder or nine-cylinder inline engines were commercially released since they don't make engineering sense thanks to the uneven firing order, imbalance, and packaging.

When using the typical 1-2-4-5-3 firing order, primary forces—those created by pistons moving vertically—are perfectly balanced, as is the case with inline-four and -six cylinder engines.
