		Nicknamed a four-banger or a four-pot, this straight engine configuration is the most common in cars with a displacement up to 2.3 litres.
		Larger engines (up to 4.5 L) have been seen in racing and light truck use, especially using diesel fuel (an example is the Mercedes-Benz MBE 904).
		This engine was originally designed as a 2 litre Formula 2 engine for the Ferrari 500 but evolved to 2.5 L to compete in Formula 1 in the Ferrari 625.

	Overview of Chevrolet Straight Six Engines
		In the 1935 engines high pressure jet oil streams were used to lubricate the connecting rod bearings.
		In 1937 important engine changes were introduced; the new engines had a bore and stroke of 3 1/2 x 3 3/4 in.
		The compression ratio was raised from 6:1 to 6.5:1.

	AutoZine Technical School - Engine
		Since the 80s, car engineers regard 4-pot engines larger than 2 litres in capacity had better to be equipped with twin-balancer shafts to dampen the vibration.
		However, it generates end-to-end vibration like 3-cylinder engines, because piston 1 is not in the same position as piston 5, and piston 2 is not in the same position as piston 4.
		Obviously, the solution is the same as 3-pot engines, that is, employ a balancer shaft on which there are counter weights moving in the opposite direction to the pistons.

	Straight engine - Biocrawler (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-05)
		Usually found in 4 and 6 cylinder configurations, the straight engine or inline engine is an internal-combustion engine with all cylinders aligned in one row, with no or only minimal offset.
		A straight engine is considerably easier to build than an otherwise equivalent horizontally opposed or V engine because the cylinder bank can be milled from a single metal casting and it requires fewer cylinder heads and camshafts.
		Straight configurations are simpler than their V-shaped counterparts and usually provide smoother running, but at the cost of greater engine length.

	NationMaster - Encyclopedia: W engine
		The W engine is an engine configuration in which the cylinder banks resemble the letter W in the same way a V engine resembles the letter V.
		These types of engines should not be confused with the U engine, which also has two banks of cylinders and two crankshafts, but which is made by combining two similar straight engines.
		The W engine is an engine configuration in which the cylinder banks resemble the letter W in the same way a V engine resembles the letter V. One of the first W engine was a W3, built by Anzani in 1906 to be used in their motorbikes.

		This straight engine configuration is the most common in cars with a displacement up to 2.0 litres.
		These engines were generally the result of a long incremental evolution process and their power was kept relatively low regarding their capacity.
		This engine was originally designed as a 2 litre Formula 2 engine for the Ferrari 500 but evolved to 2.5 litres to compete in Formula 1 in the Ferrari 625.

	Science Fair Projects - Straight-6
		The widespread use of front-wheel-drive and transverse ("east-west") engine configurations in smaller cars saw that the shorter engine length of the V6 became highly desirable, and these days most six-cylinder engines are made in the V configuration.
		Engines of this type were popular before World War II in mid-range cars.
		Bristol produced a straight 6 until 1961, based on BMW plans, that was also used in many small manufacturers' cars.

	NationMaster - Encyclopedia: W18
		The design was loosely based on the concept Volkswagen used for its V5 engines which had one bank with three cylinders and one band with only two.
		Essentially the four-bank W18 was two V9 engines (one bank of five cylinders and one band of four) mated to a common crankshaft.
		Ultimately the design proved to be impractical and the W16 (four banks of four cylinders) layout was adopted in the next generation of the concept, the Bugatti EB 16/4 Veyron.

		The straight-5 is an internal combustion engine with five cylinders aligned in one row, sharing a single engine block[?] and crank case[?].
		This configuration is a compromise between the smaller straight-4 and the larger straight-6.
		Straight-5 engines are not very common, they've been seen on Audis and on some Diesel-powered Mercedes-Benz models.

		eight-cylinder engine, or a vehicle fitted with one; the cylinders may be in-line (a straight eight) or in a V-layout (a V-8).
		When the engine is operating, an audible noise may be heard when the fuel in the cylinders is ignited too early and/or spontaneously, resulting in colliding flame fronts and shock waves which cause high thermal and mechanical stress, and can severely damage the engine.
		The Honda CVCC engine which initiates combustion in a small auxiliary prechamber is one type of stratified charge engine (to be precise, the CVCC should actually be called a dual-combustion engine).

	Page55
		Automobile engines are usually manufactured with four, six or eight cylinders, although engines with five or ten cylinders are available.
		The most common configurations are the in-line and V. Engines are often identified by the number of cylinders the engine has and the way they are arranged.
		V: The cylinders in a V engine are upright and in two rows angled toward each other at the bottom, with the crankshaft at the base of the V. Opposed: In an opposed engine, the cylinders are on their sides and arranged in two rows opposite each other, with the crankshaft in between.

		Most bikes that use a straight-four engine (four cylinders arranged in a straight line) are sport bikes.
		Bikes using these engines are usually not designed for sportiness and quick handling, but for cruising and looking relaxed.
		They frequently use engines derived from those of sport bikes, but are built in a more user-friendly format.

	Engine turning
		Perhaps the most fascinating of the decorative arts is Engine Turning, a centuries-old craft that, today, involves the use of antique machines to engrave delicate patterns on metal watch components.
		Engine turning is the act of cutting geometric patterns in a rotating metal surface with a stationary cutting tool called a rose engine.
		Because there are few available operating rose engines and fewer master guillocheurs practicing the art, such decoration is either not available or not within the budget of most firms who produce watches.

		This engine does not have a cam shaft, instead the valves are operated via a system of 'push rods' which are connected to the crank shaft.
		This engine does not need spark plugs for instance, as a spark is not required for ignition, however they do have 'glow plugs' which are mainly only used for starting and initial running, until the engine reaches operating temperature.

		A V engine is a common configuration for an internal combustion engine.
		The V configuration reduces the overall engine length and weight compared to an equivalent straight engine.
		Very narrow angles of V combine some of the advantages of the V engine and the straight engine (primarily in the form of compactness) as well as disadvantages; the concept is an old one pioneered by Lancia, but recently reworked by Volkswagen.
