Twelve-cylinder engines do have a long tradition. |
As a kind of appetizer you may read the page about the first German 12 cylinder after the War. There, you may become accustomed with the
design, especially the idea
that the 60°-V 12 is basically made up of two six-cylinder in-line engines. Thus, the crankshaft in the side outline on top corresponds - except
for the width of the big-end
bearings and their two oil bores - to that of a six-cylinder engine.
