Dunno why I bothered polling but I did.

Steffo, maybe he means what bike do you ride

I just noticed he hasn't put I6 in the poll, on an Aussie Ford forum :

Yeah I think maybe one Mitsubishi had a V4?????

Meanwhile Inline Fours are probably the most common while on FordForms the Inline Six is a staple...

I think if you started a poll with all the options you would find the i6 would be the "most driven engine" (that hurt my head just typing that) on here.

I6N/A
V6NA
FORCED 6
V8

Doesn't seem that big to me.

No the point we're making is that cars use inline 4 cylinder engines and Falcons use inline 6 cylinder engines.

The V in V6 and V8 isn't there for no reason, it signifies the arrangement of the cylinders in relation to the crankshaft. Hence a V8 has 4 cylinders on either side of the crankshaft making a V shape. A V6 has 3 per side etc.

The inline engine has all cylinders in one line.

Now the W (as in W16 etc) is a bit more complex...
