Depends on the type of engine. 2 stroke or 4.

hahaha he said stroke.

lol I'm betting Bobby is a 4 stroke man, so the answer would be 2.
I'm also betting Bobby is looking up 8 cylinder 2 stroke engines right now. lol Ohhh...when the memory fails....

Since this thread is about V8's, I was waiting for pics of your most recent V8 build...

Actually in a V-8 it requires Four complete crankshaft revolutions to fire all 8 cylinders.

Oh, so you were talking about ENGINES?
No, the thread isn't about V8's, it's about airplanes, remember?

I think you just invented a V8 that runs like a V4. Congratulations.

Thats what happened I got sidetracked by the whole stroke and crank comments
No matter how many cylinders a 4-cycle engine has it requires about 2 complete crank revolutions to fire all cylinders, I say about because it's dependent on firing order and cylinder degrees on a v configured engine ( 90 degree V's are the norm but there's flat's 60's and others out there )
Sorry about the brain fart

Good sidestep, since you've never built a V8

You've heard of Detroit diesels right? They where 2 stroke v engine designs i beleive they went all the way from V-4's to V-16's?

Yes with all the bull chit I can understand
But I assumed all alone that since we were talking about a cup engine that it was a v8
2 is correct in my book

"No matter how many cylinders a 4-cycle engine has it requires about 2 complete crank revolutions to fire all cylinders..."
What? I think I know what you're trying to say. No matter how many cylinders, a 4 stroke engines crank makes EXACTLY 2 revolutions. 4 stroke - 1/2 revolution per up and down stroke.
1. Intake down stroke.
2. compression up stroke.
That's one revolution of the crankshaft.
3. power down stroke.
4. exhaust up stroke.
4 strokes, 2 full crank revolutions.

No, never heard of a 2 stroke diesel, but I've seen some 2 stroke V8's running on gas / oil. That's why I asked FFF to specify which type of engine he was asking about.

Tecanecanicaly dependent on the fireing order a 90 degree v-8 may take 710 degrees of rotation to fire all 8 cylinders.
I'm out!

Not at all. FB's been talking about all he knows about V8s and fuel injection. I was just giving him an opportunity to showcase his last build, that's all...

Since when do you have to be an engine builder to understand how they work?
I bet lots of engineers over at FORD have designed many engines, and never built one.

Ok, knuckleheads. Here's the motor that I built for my truck...
Here's me tailoring the plug wires...
I also built the automatic transmission, lowered the rear end 5 3/4", c-notched the frame, lowered the front 3", installed a '70 Mustang fuel tank under the bed behind the axle, relocated the battery, tubbed the rear wheel wells, etc.
I build Harley motors, too. I also MIG, TIG and gas weld. I rebuild manual and auto transmissions, rear ends, electrical, A/C, brakes (ABS and non). I do body fabrication and paint, too.
It's not done but here it is (the hood is off to install the hood scoop)...
This is my current unfinished project. There are many aspects of the build on this truck on another website.
Now...let's see yours
