* Four-Stroke Cycle: A four-stroke engine completes one cycle (intake, compression, power, exhaust) for each two revolutions of the crankshaft.
* V8 Configuration: A V8 engine has 8 cylinders, each firing once per complete four-stroke cycle.
Calculation:
1. One Cylinder Cycle: Each cylinder fires once every two crankshaft revolutions.
2. V8 Firing: With 8 cylinders, there's a power stroke (firing) every 1/8th of a full crankshaft revolution.
3. Full Cycle: To get all 8 cylinders to fire once, the crankshaft needs to make a full revolution (360 degrees).
Therefore, the crankshaft needs to make one full revolution for all cylinders in a V8 engine to fire once.
