known as a rod
bearing journal, is a

rotating shaft containing one or more
crankpins, that are
driven by the
pistons via the
connecting rods. The
crankpins are also
called rod

connecting rod and the piston. Typically, the big end
connects to the

- re-timing the camshaft, and
sometimes in
combination with a
change in
crankpin angle. The goal is to

-
cylinder banks: in this
configuration each pair of
cylinders shares a
single crankpin, so that as one
piston moves inward, the
other moves outward. The first...

first Isle of Man TT race in 1907. Most V-twin
engines have a
single crankpin,
which is
shared by both
connecting rods. The
connecting rods may sit side-by-side...

designs often use a three-throw
crankshaft with 'flying arms'
between the
crankpins to
allow an even
firing interval of 120
degrees to be achieved. A pair...

engines have each pair of
pistons sharing a
