if you want to flame me, thats fine............but if you do, flame me with factual stuff instead of the "180 degree V" BS that someone might believe..........
The boxer engine, also called a "flat engine" or "pancake engine," is an engine whose cylinders are laid down on their sides. So instead of pumping up and down, as on an "in line" engine, or diagonally, as on a "V" engine, the pistons are "horizontally opposed," or on opposite sides of the crankshaft, pumping toward one another.
so lets see, it doesn't function like a "V" and doesn't look like a "V"............hmmm
