Inline 5 vs. V-6 and I-6 850 95 T-5R

posted by  someone claiming to be Alex on  Mon Feb 26 03:31 CST 2001 [RELATED]

Ok, so I've read a lot of small comments on this message board about how the 5 cylinders are smoother than their 6 cylinder counterparts. Why is this? It sounds pretty counterintuitive to me just because of the whole odd number thing. the only explanation that I could come up with is that on a six cylinder, you have opposing torque being applied at each end of the engine (ie. cylinder 1 is going up while cylinder 6 is going down). Does this make any sense? please clarify this for me, it's been bugging me for quite a while. Thanks!

Alex
