1. Which of the following statements about engine configurations is true? |
|||||||||
|
Only D is correct because
in V-type of engines the cylinder axis is aligned with the crankshaft in V shape which reduces height and can accomodate more number of piston in shorter length,so D is correct.
V-engines are more expensive to overhaul since they contain more and complex parts than inline engines,so A is incorrect.
Since Inline engines are more stable at high performance needs most of the diesel vehicles use Inline engines,so B is incorrect.
All the cylinders and pistons are set in a same plane and vertical in inline engines and this is also perpendicular to the axis of the common crankshaft,so C is incorrect.
