Note: In real life the U12 and X24 have 3throw crankshafts (pistons are 120 degrees apart) and the 42cyl has a 6throw crankshaft. Those are a bit complex to do with Lego so I used simpler 2throw cranks (180 degrees). Thus firing orders are not correct in those engines. Also the 42cyl Zvezda M503 was done with radial6s instead of the real life radial7s because I couldn't find proper Lego parts for connecting pistons to the crankshaft. The Sherman 6046 U12 engine gearing and phase offset between the shafts were unknown to me so I just guessed them to be 1:1 and 90 degrees. In other ways the models should be correct (hopefully). The V8 has a flatplane crank that were used in Formula One engines. Lotus 46 H16 flatplane crank, gearing and phase between the shafts should be correct according to the schema image I found (shown in the video). The U12 has both crankshafts rotating to the same direction as was explained in mapleleafup forum.
