Yes, and you also have things still circulating that were once true but
have not been true since radial engines were the norm.

And many things are relevant from radials all the way through horizontally
opposed since internal combustion engines are much the same internally.
The
combustion event is virtually the same whether a radial, HO, or a lawn
mower.

So do you pull through one blade for each cylinder of your flat four before
starting?
