A long stroke inline six, where the stroke is longer than the bore diameter, that's a truck motor. With the inline 6, you have a piston firing off, every 60 degrees of crank rotation, rather than the 90 degrees of a v8.

I've never found an inline six motor I didn't like. The people who are prematurely crying about the oil pump belt, the motor just came out for Christ's sake. Give it a rest parrots

In the half ton world, hats off to gm for slapping the only firewood tractor motor in there......


Whoa there , help me with the math...ok, 720 deg rotation in any 4 stroke eng divided by 6 cylinders....isn't that 120 degrees between firing strokes?


Well this is a fine pickle we're in, should'a listened to Joe McCarthy and George Orwell I guess.
