He didn't mention any actual disadvantage on the I6 engine, just because it's longer doesn't mean it's bad, not a disadvantage at all. However, V6s on the other hand, really do have a lot of disadvantages. Even semi trucks use I6 engines, they are very reliable, powerful, and easy to work on. Even mercedes pretty much copied what BMW has been doing for years, I6 3.0 engines, it's a great setup for efficiency, power, reliability, and just pure awesomeness!!

Most of the cons of the inline 6, like stated in the video, can be negated with modern technology. As far as the length of an engine bay, that's more of a design feature. Long beautiful bonnets or hoods are beautiful on most cars. Overall, I really don't see any negatives with I6 engines. Hell, even Toyota/Lexus utilized them in their line up of cars: 1JZ & 2JZ. Less complexity, less vibrations, more compact, forced beauty due to design... what's not to love. I really didn't understand what a balance engine was until I drove in an E46 M3. Put it this was, when the car was parked I stepped out of the car not realizing I didn't turn of the engine. It's that smooth. The same at a red light. All of sudden, it made me realize how "unbalanced" my I4 K20 was in my Acura RSX-S.

[@ErwinSchrodinger64]

I believe it has to do with the firing order, the primary forces. I'm not sure, however.

[@twotone3471]

I6 motors also are less safe for vehicle collisions. Having a shorter V6 means a greater crush space is available at the front of the car.

[@FirebirdCamaro1220]

@Soldado de Juan José Torres small Inline 4's (i.e. below 2 liters) don't have as much of a problem, but bigger inline 4's (there are 5 litre 4's, albeit diesels, in medium duty trucks) need countershafts to even vibrations

[@FirebirdCamaro1220]

@Dickhead Bear I disagree with weak crankshafts as someone who drives a 13L L6 powered semi for a living Weight distribution and engine weight are the only downsides. They are outweighed by the pluses in applicable applications (good torque, hence truck use; and naturally balanced)

[@FirebirdCamaro1220]

[@jcgamer892]

@@Anarchristian_Beanz I6's are have alot more durability and torque over their V6 cousins.....as for ease of maintance, that is a debatable question which depends on the engine's size, weight, engine manufacture and vehicle it is installed in.

[@omegarugal9283]

inline six can be enlarged as much as you want and still run smooth, also, in a big rig, size and weight are not a concern, and since you can extend the stroke for more low end torque which is what big rigs are all about, you have a winner...

[@GeoStreber]

So you're not talking about Porsche's flat-6 and VW's VR6?

[@warrenpuckett4203]

The 140 CU IN (2.3L Corvair) did pretty good too. 110 Hp, 140 Hp and turbo 180 HP. Needed high octane gasoline but would go a long way on a gallon. Not bad for a 60+ year old design. Honda even made a motor cycle with one.

Both have their compromises but I think the compromises of having inline 6 are far more livable and sustainable. Inline 6 and boxer 4 are my favorite engine types. Because balance. Better balanced engines last longer and can be driven harder, assuming the internal components aren't compromised (small oil or water channels, cast pistons and conrods, bearing clearance, etc.).

Chrysler in the 70's had a Hemi 6 inline 6 in 215, 245 and 265 cubic inch. The 265 came with a 6 pack and put out 302 horsepower. The Hemi 6 only was used in Australia 🇦🇺. Here in the USA 🇺🇸 we got the 225 slant 6.

[@aniqrth]

This is better than learning in school..

[@kellyscars]

Chryslers first mass production use of aluminum engine blocks was with the 170 cubic inch slant six in 1960, as an option for the Valiant line (it got absorbed into Plymouth in 1961). I'm surprised you didn't mention the old Chevy stovebolt 6, that thing ran for almost 40 years, I think that was GM's longest production engine outside of the small block Mouse motor.

[@BareRoseGarage]

As a Rat Rodder, I actually dig the I6's. You run out of realestate real quick with a V8 in these old cars/trucks. Also they are Torque Monsters for what they are. Look at the Truck & Tractor pull Kings..... the Cummins. It's just a diesel I6 out there out pulling those big V8 Duramax and Powerstrokes. Back in the Sixties the fastest car in my neck of the woods was a custom Hudson Hornet. It was putting 409 Big Block V8's on the trailer with only 6 cylinders and 2 carbs. The old saying is so true, "Torque wins races, Horse Power sells cars". I just wish the aftermarket stuff was cheaper on them. Or at least equal to that of the V8's.

Maybe because it was a Buick 350 V8 neutered to V6. Sure boost woke them up but it was still a low revving OHV 90 degree V6, heavy too.

Ah yes, the old Commodore V6. What a heap of dung that was! I remember back in 2002-03 the supercharged 3800 (4 speed auto only) was slaughtered by the NA Ford in-line six...let’s not even mention the Ford turbo six!

Vegan Cyclist I agree with all of your points except I think it’s just slightly more reliable than Japanese motors, I’ve heard the Jeep 6 cylinders last to well over 350,000 miles. But you do have good points.

[@rambobannana]

Vegan Cyclist plus, you can get lots of horse power for cheap. You can turn the 4.0 into a 4.9 stroker motor for less than $3500 that creates 400+ horse power and 450 ft-lbs of torque. Pretty cool stuff. But fucking scary in a Jeep lol.

[@vegancyclist8853]

3500 is enough money to turn a MK2 VW into a 12 second car. The problem with jeeps is the rest of the truck. They're fun but for that kind of fuel cost you might aswell drive a diesel. If they had put turbos on them, it would have been something special. I do like the transfer cases. They're good.

Attack these before you attack diesels: -All V engines (V6 V8 V10 V12 V16) (There goes the whole " 'Murica spirit" and the Luxury class) All engines that have a bigger capacity than 2L and are not used in industry (big trucks that haul heavy cargo,buses,which funnily use diesels...so...without diesels,transport would be much harder to achieve) -All power plants running on coal . Come to Europe and you'll see that the smog that our cars produce is so little (pretty much at max rpm the engine is spewing out the amount of soot the V8 is spewing while idling probably) compared to the 7 liter V8 whatever truck engine it is(Another trend I don't get in America is why do you need a truck that is like 4 tons and uses 5 times the amount of fuel a normal car would? Or the V8? What's the point of having that many cylinders? To make it harder to maintain and make sure the customer goes to the service where they can rip them off?).If you get a 100hp 1.9 liter TDi inline 4,You're golden.We had gasoline engines and until now...We never had problems with it.The Diesel I mean.Love it when it's cold outside and it cranks...and slowly start cranking faster and faster until it's idling.

I like the ford 300cid straight 6 build from the late 60s and all the way to the 90s used in ford trucks. Absolutely legendary engine that had tons of torque at less than 2,000 rpms which means it will last forever because it doesn’t have to rev high
