>Has anybody actually taken the time to consider exactly HOW a W8 engine
would be constructed?  A W12 works because 12 is easily divided by
3...giving 3 banks of 4 cylinders each. 

        Call me stupid, but i thought from the pics i've seen, that the W12
had 4 banks of 3, esentially 2 VR6's put together?


 Exactly how do you divide 8 by three to get 3 banks of cylinders with equal
numbers?  

Wouldn't you use 4 banks of 2?

Ps, feel free to bash me, 'cause i really have no knowledge past the basic 4
