180 degree. giving it a theoretical twice the rpm of a 4 stroke parallel twin

For 4 stroke engines parallel twin is compact needs only 1 cylinder head and potentially less valve train but I think they need more crankshaft counter balancing. its mostly a packaging advantage in my opinion.

The main parts of the reciprocating engine are the crankshaft and pistons. They reciprocate in the cylinder block.

The location of the crankshaft position sensor depends on which engine the car has. If it is the 2.5L 4 cylinder engine the crankshaft position sensor is behind the ignition module. If it is the 2.8L V6 engine the crankshaft position sensor is on the side of the engine nearest the firewall and just above the pan rail in about the center of the block.

In a twin-cylinder four-stroke engine, the crankshaft completes one full rotation for every two strokes of the pistons. Since the crankshaft is turning at 1000 RPM, the camshaft, which is typically driven by the crankshaft at half that speed, will turn at 500 RPM. Thus, the camshaft in this engine will be rotating at 500 RPM.
It is a 4 piston engine design.
