What is a V8 engine?

It is worth explaining at the outset what the popular “V eight” is. In a nutshell, it is an eight-cylinder internal combustion engine with a forked design, that is, one in which the individual cylinders are placed in two parallel rows in the fork box, and their opening angle can be up to 90 degrees, although in newer models this angle is much smaller, making the engine more compact. Said eight cylinders are responsible for transmitting the pressure force to the crankshaft. Depending on the brand of engine, the order of ignition of the pistons may be different. For example, engines manufactured by Ford have a 1-5-4-8-6-3-7-2 or 1-5-4-2-6-3-7-8 systematics.
