V6 Engine

Last crawled date: 1 year, 11 months ago

In this engine,the angle between the V's is 90 degrees.Also it is a common crank pin design meaning the 2 connecting rods share a crank pin.The design was first used by Buick and later on used in Maserati's Citroen SM, the PRV V6, the Rover KV6 (2.0- and 2.5-litre), the Honda C engine, Chevrolet's 4.3 L Vortec 4300 and Chrysler's 3.9 L (238 in3) Magnum V6 and 3.7 L (226 in3) PowerTech V6. Mainly they are used because it is relatively easy to derive a 90° V6 from an existing V8 design by simply cutting two cylinders off the engine, this tends to make it wider and more vibration-prone than a 60° V6.
