Calling all mechanical engineers

[BIGLRY]

Not to confuse but a Flat Six Boxer Engine has six individual rod journals on it crankshaft. Our Flat Six F6B Motors are considered 180 degree with the crankshaft employing only three rod journals. Two connecting rods share the same journal! When one piston is at TDC the shared journal piston is at BDC

Yep, here is the flat 6 Boxer engine with 6 rod journals, But I must disagree with your view that the Honda Goldwing flat six only has three rod journals as you can clearly see in the pic below the one of the Boxer engine. Also that is why one side of the F6B engine is offset front to back due to the pistons not being evenly across with each other.

I stand corrected! Not sure why I was under the impression the 6 had only three rod journals! Live and learn Thanks for the correct info and pic's of the cranks
