"Keen "to replace V6 with inline Gas engines
I have been reading how European manufacturers are now urgently wanting to dump V6 engines. One Automotive commentator said they " were a mistake" .Jaguars new Diesel and Gas engines will be inline si...

Cross flow scavenging vs loop scavenging...says most of it...
Most in-line has intake and exhaust on the same side of the head
V's has them on opposite sides of the head
Scavenging has to do with how well an ICE breaths in/out...even forced fed...
Why you might see different dia's and lengthes of velocity tubes on
the same engine...ditto headers...anyone ever wonder why they go to
all that trouble to make each tube the same length/dia? Even which
exhaust tube is next to which...more so with the 4-2-1 for a V8 to
6-3-2-1 of an in-line six...Cheap out and only go 6-3-2 and it does
sound GREAT, but loses out on the top end (RPM...runs out of breath)
But there are many, many, many, many more attributes that come into play in
the design architecture of any ICE
For most street folks...polishing and flow matching is not going to be very
noticeable. It is in an arena where hundredths of a second matters or can
make a difference between first vs second...or to boyracers like me
who just love this kind of stuff...
