	Crankshaft - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		As the crankshaft undergoes a great deal of sideways load from each cylinder in a multicylinder engine, it must be supported by several such bearings, not just one at each end; this was also a factor in the rise of V8 engines with their shorter crankshafts, in preference to straight-8 engines.
		This adds considerably to the weight of the crankshaft; crankshafts from Volkswagen, Porsche, and Corvair flat engines, lacking counterweights, are easily carried around by hand, compared to crankshafts for inline or V engines, which need to be handled and transported as heavy chunks of metal.
		Crankshafts can be forged or cast from either mild steel or high strength steel, or machined out of a single billet of forged steel.
