Its a scary term at first but its easy to understand once you get the knack for it. An engine that has a 270 degree firing order means the bangs (power stroke) from each cylinder are 270 degrees of crankshaft rotation appart. When cylinder one fires, cylinder two will fire 270 degrees later, this trend would continue if the engine had more cylinders i.e. 4,6,8,10, and 12 cylinder engines. If and engine had a 360 degree firing interval its the same as above, cylinder one goes bang, cylinder two goes bang 360 crankshaft degrees later. Hope this helps. Its a scary term but its easy once you get the knack of it. Firing interval means the degrees in crankshaft rotation the power strokes are appart in an engine. Take for example the engine in the 2008 Triumph Scrambler it is a twin cylinder engine with a firing interval of 270 degrees. In this engine when cylinder one goes on its power stroke, cylinder two will have its power stroke 270 crankshaft degrees later. Ok now lets take the Cheverolet Corvette, Chevy has the firing interval at 90 degrees. So that means cylinder one fires then cylinder 8,4,3,6,5,7,2 follow all 90 degrees appart from each other. Hope this helps

12 degrees BTDC (Before Top Dead Center) is a measurement of crankshaft rotation in a combustion engine. It represents the crankshaft position when the piston is 12 degrees before it reaches the top of its stroke. This measurement is important for setting ignition timing in internal combustion engines.
The main parts of the reciprocating engine are the crankshaft and pistons. They reciprocate in the cylinder block.
The piston moves up due to the downward force provided by the connecting rod attached to the crankshaft. The rotation of the crankshaft transforms the linear motion of the piston into rotational motion, creating the necessary mechanical energy to move the piston back up in the cylinder.

The location of the crankshaft position sensor depends on which engine the car has. If it is the 2.5L 4 cylinder engine the crankshaft position sensor is behind the ignition module. If it is the 2.8L V6 engine the crankshaft position sensor is on the side of the engine nearest the firewall and just above the pan rail in about the center of the block.
On a 2stroke engine the oil/gas mixture enters the crank case (lubricating the crankshaft bearings) before it is drawn into the cylinder.
