The firing order
•IN LINE 6 cylinder engines use 1-5-3-6-2-4
•Ford V-6 engines have fired 1-4-2-5-3-6 and 1-4-2-3-5-6.
•GM motor’s V-8 engine 1-8-4-3-6-5-7-2
•Ford V-8 engines use 1-5-4-2-6-3-7-8 and 1-3-7-2-6-5-4-8

Crankshaft Vibration

Thefollowingarethreebasicareasthatareof
concernwhenconsideringvibrationincrankshaft
design:
a.Vibration due to imbalance.
b.Vibration due to deflection.
c.Torsion al Vibration.
Balancing of Crankshaft
a.Vibration Damper. Vibration Damper is used
at the end of the crankshaft opposite to the output
end to absorbed torsion al vibration.
b.Crankshaft Bearings. Crankshaft bearing is
named as crankshaft main bearing which is used to
support the crankshaft for its smooth rotation.
c.Connecting rod bearings. Connecting rod
bearing fits into the connecting rod.
d.Thrust Bearing.Limits crankshaft end play.
The thrust bearing is one of the main bearings that
has flanges on its two sides. This limits the forward
and rearward movement of the crankshaft.
