I don't know anything but the people that do.

Presumably it has very little effect on the power output of the engine, otherwise they wouldn't do it.

Note to OP: Check out the VW range of VR engines too. It's all about packaging in that case - a short V engine with a single cylinder head.

I think everyone knew what you were talking about
I was just confused by some of your #s.
Is that diagram referring to a specific engine ?
I'm not sure I agree With claim of max pressure and max leverage coinciding. and not because i think that word should be used only by dead Greeks and physicists, but because it appears to at best move the two closer
SomptingGuy,
I did check out the VW as you suggested last go round and was amazed, it along with some of the other posts convinced me that offset has less effect than I would have thought. I would still like to witness some power balance testing on it and the sites I looked at could have been better.
Thanks

Should have checked before posting.
