Of course there are reliability problems. Perhaps I should have picked a more blunt title like "V6 engines suck."
Splash & Go: The Worst of Both Worlds - Racing-Reference.info
That seems like a reasonable article. But, they were given the option of four cylinders too. If the reasons in the article deem v6s unwise decisions why wouldn't they have gone with 4cyls?Quote:

Wasn't it Honda and to a lesser extent Chevy that pushed the V6 because of reliability concerns with a 4 cyl hitting the target HP and durability levels, not Indycar? Isn't a 4 cylinder still legal if someone wanted to go that route.
Back in the day when F-1 allowed turbos - the 6 cylinders "won the war" - the BMW and Hart were powerful but, IIRC they blew up more often - so I am not 100% sure the article is right in a practical sense (for reasons unknown to me...)Quote:
