What is the firing order of a six-cylinder engine?
1 Answers
There are two types of six-cylinder engines: inline and V-type, each with different firing orders. Below are the firing orders for six-cylinder engines: 1. Inline: The firing order for an inline 6-cylinder engine is: 1-5-3-6-2-4 or 1-4-2-6-3-5. The firing sequence and crankshaft arrangement for a four-stroke inline six-cylinder engine: The firing interval angle for a four-stroke inline six-cylinder engine is 720°/6=120°, with six cranks arranged in three planes. The firing order is 1-5-3-6-2-4. 2. V-type: The cylinder sequence is as follows: right side from front to back: 1, 3, 5; left side from front to back: 2, 4, 6. The firing order is usually: 1-4-5-2-3-6. If the right side from front to back is: 2, 4, 6, and the left side from front to back is: 1, 3, 5, the firing order is generally: 1-6-5-4-3-2.
