@rokrsdriveclub: Learning about cars for beginners. The flat plane crank is a type of engine crankshaft that is used in some high-performance V8 engines. They essentially throw their pistons at 180 degrees as opposed to 90. But what are the advantages of this crankshaft design? The flat plane crank is also said to provide better engine balance and smoother power delivery. Another advantage is that it allows for a higher redline. and the flatplane is what gives the engine the unique V12 esq sound. When you hear a flat plane crank engine, you can immediately tell it apart from regular V8. It has a more high-pitched, almost wailing sound. #learningaboutcarsforbeginners #learnaboutcars #carfacts #cartok #learningaboutcars #cartok

If its 180 degrees is it not just a F8 then?

It does not provide better balance lmaoo. They are much more difficult to balance than a cross plane.

The Ford flathead had a flat plane crank too, because they’re simpler to cast

Jarod Oakley :

it has worse balance characteristics in terms of vibration but allows for even firing.

Also used in some motorcycles

Noah Stubbs927 :

It dosent set the pistons at 180 degrees it has to do with the crankshaft being 180 degrees or else it wouldent be a v-8

Micoll Davis :

also it makes the exhaust come out smoother
