47Jag's thread about the V8 got me thinking about different engine configurations I've had in cars, old and modern, over the years. This I think is the list, most but not all were runners mind 
PETROL:
3 cyl, inline, 2 Stroke (Saab)
4 cyl, inline, Sidevalve (Fords, Austin, Morris...)
4 cyl, inline, OHV (A30, A40, Bedfords...)
4 cyl, inline, OHC (MX5...)
5 cyl, inline, OHC (Volvos)
6 cyl, inline, Sidevalve (Dodge)
6 cyl, inline, OHV (Vauxhall 12, Spit/GT6)
6 cyl, inline, OHC (Jaguar, BMW)
6 cyl, V6, OHC (Volvo 760GLE)
12 cyl, V12, OHC (Jaguar, BMWs)
No V8s, V16s or Straight Eights as yet 
DIESEL:
4 cyl, inline, OHV (Morris J2)

Yes Paul it would not let me use the 'W' name for my rotary engine either.

My vehicle summary totals - so far:
29 cars - Honda 600 to Lincoln - the list in between is even more embarrasing.
128 cylinders - in groups of 2 4 6 or 8 - not all necessarily firing when they should.
50 litres - 600cc to 4.6l.

So far:
3 X 4 Cyl SV
9 X 4 Cyl OHV
5 X 4 Cyl OHC
2 X V4 OHV (Saab 96s)
1 X Citroen BX 14 which seemed to have both OHC and OHV 
Nothing with more or less than 4 cylinders so far (except for a moped), I must do something about it. Interesting thread though.
