Naijauto1: Have you known how they are different? If not, check our article right now! If you are a car owner, you might have known about the 6-cylinder engine and the V6 engine which has been equipped in most of the cars today. But have you ever questioned that how different they are and what are their own advantages and disadvantages?
Naijauto.com is sure that not all car users know well about this. That is why we write this article to make it [s]clearer and help you have a better understanding of these types of engine[/s].
1. Straight six engine: Advantage and disadvantage
A straight six engine is a kind of engine that includes a straight line of cylinders and all of them face the same way. Because of this arrangement, there is no need for cylinder offset as in the V configuration. A straight six engine [s]doesn’t use double the number of smaller camshafts, it has an overhead camshaft used to close and open its valves[/s]. Accessing the straight six engine’s components is not difficult, making the engine become popular and a favorite of auto mechanics.
A straight six engine is a kind of engine that includes a line of cylinders which are arranged in the same way
Advantage:
The straight six is used largely because of its huge advantage - its balance. Thanks to a good arrangement of its cylinders, the equilibrium of reciprocating forces is created, providing a smooth and powerful engine.
Disadvantage:
The most difficult thing when installing an inline 6 cylinder is that there is not enough space for the gearbox, so it is hard to mount the engine sideways.
The V6 engine is well-known for its compact shape that makes it easier to be mounted and add other parts to the engine like turbochargers.
Disadvantage
Different from the straight six, the V6 engine doesn’t require balancing shafts to counteract the force generated during the car’s motion. If there is no balancing shaft, the engine will run with large vibrations which also cancel out the engine reciprocation’s efficiency. Especially, when the car speeds up, the balance will turn worse.
The V6 has a manufacturing cost because of its counterweight and additional parts. And this engine has a complex structure, which is why you always need consults from professional mechanics as owning a V6 engine.
Although the V6 showcases not fewer disadvantages, it still attracts a number of carmakers today as an outstanding engine.

Speak for yourself only, not everyone is dishonest. You blab about places you buy from and being in need of money to clear new consignment. It means you are biting more than you can chew.

Why not leave people to decide on whether to buy clean title or accidented cars? You are referring to a person as bro and insulting him in the next sentence.

Stop hating, becos we are in d same line doesn't mean u should look for my downfall, work hard and get ur own client .. I swear to God Almighty d car is sold, wat would I get if I lie.

You blab about being an undergraduate, who were you told doesn't have a degree due to lack of funds or inability to pass entrance exams?

LAGATA: Good evening house, please I need help. I drive a 2007 Corolla. Just this afternoon from where I parked, the car didn't start until after 4trials of kick-start. It then began to vibrate and at the same time I heard one cranking sound from inside the engine. What could I possibly be dealing with
Cc gazzuzZ Autojosh Kingreign
Inshort everybody....
Worst case scenario: New engine loading __%
Have you been servicing engine as at when due with right oil grade? Is check engine on? If yes, please scan and post code(s)
AutoJoshNG: You’re about to embark on a journey.. like heading to your home town in December... and you have to pick one of the SUVs below bearing in mind that you want a vehicle that will handle the terrible roads in Nigeria, have adequate cabin space and still enable you arrive in grand style. Which of these 3 SUVs will you set out in?
You may also want to consider factors like..
- Luxury and comfort - Infotainment capabilities. The journey shouldn’t be a boring one for you and your passengers - Durability and Reliability. Which of them will make you not feel bothered about the road as well as reaching your destination without mechanical issues. - Fuel consumption and other factors could be considered as well.
Having these factors in mind, you are now to make a choice.
oyejohn: Please help me o house....my car won't roll when ignition is attempted.. Its like the engine is stiff and stucked...There is oil in the engine and no overheating...The mechanic that checked said car engine is knocked. Please assist me on the way forward. Thanks..Honda civic 2003
saintjoel: Lol, unfortunately I reside in a neighborhood where potable water is expensive and you dare not waste whatever you've stored in your house, so I don't have the luxury of getting my shoes muddied all over. Let me just stay neutral in all this. I also have skeletons hidden in my cupboard
You are either for or against full disclosure. Nothing like neutral. But you already said you have skeletons in your cupboard, I guess that states where your inner loyalty lies.
Banky3w, chukel, computerglobal, Diportivo, erico2k2, Gazzuzz, honmusa, Kingreign, LeJeun3, Mayor2013, nurey, Obekediamondfuto, Princetom1, thebigkendo and other demeanọrs report here and come won't y'all create a group for counterplot?
I wonder why OP didn't post angle showing the damage well and why he claims it's accident free... Mileage - actual and low Airbag - intact. So, you have nothing to hide.. But just being economical with the truth for no reason...
hubcruz: How many 9ja pple can afford clean tittle car even in yankee there some of them buy salvaged car and rebuild the title and use it there.... Note that its better we bring in accident cars fix them well and sell them....than bring in flooded cars which is more problematic....Well i believe when u enter into the business u will understand. Don't just come here and make comments come and invest ur money in bring in a car and face what we face in the business and not come here to talk.
In developed countries, there are institutions (eg DMV in the US) who test cars before they are back on the road, hence quality of repair work is assured, not here where cutting corners is the order of the day.
Please take note: In order to curb fraudulent activities, No form of payment should be made or will be accepted unless after physical inspection and agreement. Thanks for your patronage.
By who? Seller or buyer. Ayé lè oh... Color change all to mask accident....
donchisel: @Cosp.lay, only a legal entity can declare a criminal act and not you. I would rather refer the action as that of one without any integrity to protect.
It is also possible that this guy doesn't even know the implications and impact of auto-registration and only needed the loan money to do other things. He should be arrested and prosecuted accordingly, if he refuses to transfer ownership to the real buyer.
I expect licensing offices should demand proof of purchase from registrants, but anything goes in Nigeria.
Sakaslim: Oga you think am stupid by putting the VIN here right!
I am sure of this car that's why I have posted everything here. If you're a damn pauper seeking for whom to discredit simply because you want to beat down the price then your very insensitive
Just take your damn ass of this thread before I curse your labour.
IMO, the outburst was not necessary sir. None of your posts included front view of car and that was a red flag even before he requested for VIN... You got a car with minimal damage for sale and don't have to cuss anyone out for drawing your attention and that of prospective clients to it, your reaction to his posts goes a long way in projecting a negative image of you... Congrats to you on the sale.
dammiejay: I was on my way to Ibadan on top speed with my Corolla 2003, when I noticed my check engine indicator came on when I got to the middle Toll gate, I had no choice than to continue the journey like that,so immediately I got to Ibadan I called my mechanic he said the car is due for service. Please how true is this?
What your car needs is a scan. Not an engine service... If still in Ibadan, contact me for scanning and diagnosis...
FestacGirl: I know both cars really well, And i know their specifications, Fuel consumption is also not a problem.
Which do you think is better in : 2005 RX330 Or 2009 Rav4 Limited I4 The rx is 3.3L v6 while the Rav4 has a 2.5L 4cylinder. i feel the rx is bigger with more ground clearance but i also think the rav4 is more recent.
Which do you guys think is better and more preferable .
IMO, Rav4 is better. More recent Tho smaller engine, but not as sludge prone as the engine of Rx330.
This one weak me oh... You who is selling an Accidented car with deployed airbag without informing buyer is not spoiling his work àbí. It's us letting buyer know the secrets you are hiding that are the evil people, nawa oh.
Buyers beware. Seller known for hiding vital information about cars he sells and shows signs of extreme mental disorder. Before transacting with him check his posts to learn more.
