The most common V angle for a V8 by far is 90°. This configuration produces a wide, low engine with optimal firing and vibration characteristics. Since many V6 and V10 engines are derived from V8 designs, they often use the 90° angle as well, but sometimes with balance shafts to reduce vibration or more complex cranks to even the firing cycle. However, some V8s use different angles. One notable example is the Ford/Yahama used in the Ford Taurus SHO. It was based on Ford's Duratec V6 and shares that engine's 60° vee angle. A similar Yamaha-built engine is used by Volvo Cars as of 2005. These engines were designed for transverse front wheel drive installation and are narrower than usual for efficient use of space. Since they are not at the ideal 90° angle for a V8, they require a counter-rotating balance shaft and offset split crankpins for complete smoothness. In 2010 GM will introduce a 4.5 litre Duramax diesel V8 with a 72° angle in which they claim "Considering manufacturing tolerances, a 72 V-8 engine can actually deliver better balance than a 90 engine."

What is the difference between v engine and inline engine?
The difference between a v engine and inline engine is that in v type engine the pistons and cylinders are aligned in in a v shape and in an inline type engine the pistons and cylinders are all vertical or inline with each other.
What is a V type engine?
The V-type engine is a type of engine configuration or layout in which the cylinders are oriented in two rows or "banks", both connected to the same crankshaft. If you were to look at a diagram of the the pistons, connecting rods, and crank, it would form the shape of a V, thus the name V type engine. The design allows for more power with less weight than an inline engine with the same number of cylinders. In a typical V8 engine, there will be two banks, each having 4 pistons. The banks are inclined to each other at an angle of 30 to 45 degrees.
How many cylinders that the train have?
Trains have different amounts of cylinders depending on which type of motor or engine they have and how big or small they are. Larger trains will have larger engines and more cylinders.
What type of angle measures between 180 and 360?
An angle between 180o and 360o is a reflex angle.
How many different engine shapes are there?
It depends on the type of engine you are referring to.The basic configurations for an internal combustion engine are;Straight. All cylinders in line'V' engine. The cylinders are in two banks forming a 'V' shape.Opposed. The cylinders are horizontal with opposed pistons.Rotary. The combustion chambers are defined by the shape of the block and the rotor.
What type of motor is used in a trimmer?
Engine, not motor. It'll typically be a two stroke engine with one or two cylinders.
What is the difference between an angle and a right angle?
A right angle is a specific type of angle. It is 90 degrees.

What is the type of congruence between the triangles shown?
side- angle- side
What is the order of the Spark plug wires on coils?
It entirely depends on the vehicle's type of engine and the number of cylinders it has.
What type of angle is a 120 degree angle?
A 120 degree angle is an obtuse angle. This means that the angle is between 90 and 180 degrees.
