How V8 Engines Work (In 60 Seconds)

Published on Fri, Apr 26th 2024 Autos & Vehicles Rectangular HD

V8 engines are universally praised by car enthusiasts. The idea is simple: two banks of four cylinders join together in a "V" to form a V8. Each cylinder is working to pull in air & fuel and eventually ignite it to provide the power stroke. This process takes two revolutions of the crankshaft for each cylinder, or 720 degrees of rotation. Since you have eight cylinders, you have a power stroke every 90 degrees of crank rotation, resulting in very smooth power delivery. The engines are used in muscle cars, super cars, and trucks, for their performance advantages and glorious sound - it's why Mustang GT350s, Corvettes, and Ferraris all sound so lovely.
