There has been a question that has bugged me since I was a young motor head!
Regarding the offset placement of the wrist pin in a "V" type gasoline engine;
In relation to the piston and connecting rod, is it offset to place more pressure on one side of the wall to prevent chattering and wear?
Or is it offset to balance the piston's diagonal travel on the four cycles of intake, compression, power, and exhaust? I have spoken to many engine builders, and no one agrees.
I hope I can get the answer before I get cremated, and finally will that my ashes be mixed with racing oil in a Chevy V-8 just for one last thrill! LOL!
