  Automobile Engines - A Short Course on How They Work
These engines are sometimes named for the number of valves that they have such as "24 Valve V6" which indicates a V-6 engine with four valves per cylinder.
The compression ratio on the average engine is in the range of 8:1 to 10:1.
The oil pump is mounted at the bottom of the engine in the oil pan and is connected by a gear to either the crankshaft or the camshaft.

  Online Encyclopedia and Dictionary - V6   (Site not responding. Last check: )
A V6 is an internal combustion piston engine with six cylinders in a "V" configuration.
V6 engines that are converted from V8 engines often have three shared crankpins arranged at 120° from each other, similar to a inline 3-cylinder with two pistons per crankpin.
This engine saw a new evolution in 1966 when it was adapted to road use and produced by a Ferrari-Fiat joint-venture for the Fiat Dino and Dino 206 GT (this car was made by Ferrari but sold under the brand Dino).

The engine was successful but had very limited popularity and so Buick sold the rights to the engine to Kaiser Jeep, later purchased by American Motors.
The new engine was based on the very successful small block with identical block geometry having a deck height (centerline of crankshaft to cylinder deck measured along the centerline of the bore) of 9.025" and a height (centerline of crankshaft to top of engine along the center of the 90 deg.
In 1985 a 262 cid (4.3L) engine (4.00" bore x 3.48" stroke) was introduced with a true even fire sequence of 120 deg; the internal block dimensions are identical to the 350 cid small block.

 PRV engine - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The PRV engine is an automobile petrol V6 engine that was developed jointly by Peugeot, Renault and Volvo Cars and sold from 1974 to 1998.
The PRV engines are sometimes referred to as "Douvrin" engines, though that name is more-commonly applied to a family of straight-4s produced at the same time.
V6 engines, on the other hand, are generally arranged at 60° (again because of timing) but can be built as 90° engines with either staggered timing or split crankshaft journals.

 Ford Cologne V6 engine - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The Cologne V6 was made to be very compatible in installation with the Taunus V4, having the same transmission bolt pattern, the same engine mounts, and in many versions, a cylinder head featuring "siamesed" exhaust passages, which reduced the three exhaust outlets down to two on each side.
The 2.6 L Cologne engine was available in two forms: a regular 2550 cc version (used in the Capri 2600 GT) and a special high-performance 2637 cc fuel injected version (used in the Capri RS 2600).
The pushrod OHV engine was produced until 2000 and was used in the Ford Explorer and Ranger.
