Actually no Mike, I am quite sure that only two
pistons come up and down together on the six cylinder
GT6 engine. Since the firing order is 1-5-3-6-2-4,
then it seems as 1 and 6 travel together, 5 and 2, and
4 and 3? Is that right, I think I messed that up.
well, I am quite sure that only two at a time travel
together to TDC and I know that the order is 153624.
The rest is just a guess.
