Unlike you the engineers back then knew that you could provide two crankpins and have one cylinder fire every 360 degrees at what ever angle they chose. The 45 degree angle is simply to get the engine into a small space as possible in the frame. I should have known that, after all I just got finished putting together my Ford V-6 which is a 90 degree bank angle V-6. It has displaced crankpins to allow for even firing. Corky Scott
