The core of the engine is the cylinder, with the piston moving up and down inside the cylinder. The engine
Described above has one cylinder. That is typical of most lawn mowers, but most cars have more than one
Cylinder (four, six and eight cylinders are common). In a multi-cylinder engine, the cylinders usually are
Arranged in one of three ways: Inline, V or flat (also known as
Horizontally opposed or boxer), as shown in the following figures.
Different configurations have different advantages and disadvantages in terms of smoothness, manufacturing
Cost and shape characteristics. These advantages and disadvantages make them more suitable for certain
Vehicles.
