How many times does the engine fire in one revolution?
How many times does the engine fire in one revolution? Do all 8 cylinders fire in one revoultion, just one, or somewhere in between?

Car: 87 IROC L98
Engine: 588 Alcohol BBC
Transmission: Powerglide
Axle/Gears: Ford 9"/31 spline spool/4.86
So to answer your question a bit better, A 4 stroke V8 will have a cylinder fire every 90 degrees of crankshaft rotation. This means in one revolution of the crankshaft, 4 cylinders will have fired.
