What is the firing order of a 6-cylinder diesel engine?
1 Answers
6-cylinder engine cylinders generally have a firing order of 1-5-3-6-2-4 (most commonly used). This working sequence ensures good operational uniformity and balance for the diesel engine, while preventing adjacent cylinders from firing consecutively, which benefits the operation of the crankshaft main bearings. Relevant details are as follows: 1. Crankshaft angle: The firing interval angle for a 6-cylinder diesel engine should be 120° crankshaft angle, with a mutual angle of 120° between each crank plane. 2. The main components of a diesel engine generally include: the engine block, crankshaft connecting rod mechanism, valve train, fuel system, lubrication system, cooling system, and electrical system.
