There would be six spark plugs for a six cylinder engine. One for each cylinder. Unless it is a diesel, then there are no spark plugs.

What is a freeze plug?
freeze out plugs are metal plugs in the block and heads of your engine. they are are there if the coolant was mixed wrong with to much water and the vehicle freezes they will pop out allowing expansion of freezing liquid hopefully saving the engine Part 2: You will see these called freeze plugs, casting plugs, welsh plugs and probably other terms. The holes they plug are part of the cylinder block casting process to allow molten steel/iron/aluminum to rapidly flow into the block casting mold. The fact that they will pop out if the coolant in the engine freezes can be serendipitous but in most cases the plugs go bad due to galvanic action: the steel plugs installed at the factory are dissimilar to the engine block metal and will start to corrode (rust) and will start leaking after a while. This is why most antifreeze manufacturers claim they have anti-corrosion protection; it is also why 99% of replacement plugs are brass. Three points to remember: 1) before replacing plugs do your research and find out EXACTLY how many plugs your engine has and where they are. 2) if you have to replace one plug, replace them all. 3) if you are rebuilding an engine it is cheap insurance to replace the plugs.
Can you convert a gas engine into a diesel?
It would definitely not be possible to convert a gas engine into a diesel engine because the cylinder block and head would not be strong enough. A diesel engine needs a much higher compression ratio than a gas engine, which means the gas engine's cylinder block and cylinder head would probably explode under the higher pressure. You would have to change so many things: * the crankshaft, to get a longer piston stroke, because the compression ratio for gas is much lower than for diesel; * the connecting rods and pistons * the cylinder head and camshaft to get the right valves and holes for diesel fuel injectors instead of spark plugs * the fuel injectors and fuel pump - and maybe the tank too, to get the right vents and filler cap for diesel instead of gas * the exhaust system to get the right catalytic converter for diesel * the gears in the gearbox to get the right gear ratios to suit a diesel engine * diesel does not use any spark plugs so you would have be sure to use a safe method to disable the high voltage ignition system (which supplies sparks for gas ignition) and replace it by the right kind of electronic engine management unit to control the diesel fuel injectors * etc. In short, it would not make sense to try to do it from a cost point of view. You could perhaps buy a reconditioned diesel engine made to go in the same model of car, but, unless you could fit it yourself along with all the other bits and pieces, it would be far cheaper just to buy a secondhand diesel model of your vehicle and sell your present gas model.
How many valves are seen in 4 stroke Internal Combustion engine?
Minimum of one intake valve and one exhaust valve per cylinder. Beyond that many different combinations have been engineered. Please see the link.
How do engins work?
Engine configurationEarlier automobile engine development produced a much larger range of engines than is in common use today. Engines have ranged from 1- to 16-cylinder designs with corresponding differences in overall size, weight, piston displacement, and cylinder bores. Four cylinders and power ratings from 19 to 120 hp (14 to 90 kW) were followed in a majority of the models. Several three-cylinder, two-stroke-cycle models were built while most engines had straight or in-line cylinders. There were several V-type models and horizontally opposed two- and four-cylinder makes too. Overhead camshafts were frequently employed. The smaller engines were commonly air-cooled and located at the rear of the vehicle; compression ratios were relatively low. The 1970s and 1980s saw an increased interest in improved fuel economy, which caused a return to smaller V-6 and four-cylinder layouts, with as many as five valves per cylinder to improve efficiency. The Bugatti Veyron 16.4 operates with a W16 engine, meaning that two V8 cylinder layouts are positioned next to each other to create the W shape sharing the same crankshaft.The largest internal combustion engine ever built is the Wärtsilä-Sulzer RTA96-C, a 14-cylinder, 2-stroke turbocharged diesel engine that was designed to power the Emma Mærsk, the largest container ship in the world. This engine weighs 2,300 tons, and when running at 102 RPM produces 109,000 bhp (80,080 kW) consuming some 13.7 tons of fuel each hour.
What is the formula to build a DC coil?
There is no one formula to guide construction of a coil used in a DC application. There are far too many different ones, and each has special considerations. Is the coil being used in an automobile to fire the spark plugs? Or in the solenoid to release the trunk lid of said automobile?
