Snail-boy, I don't think I've ever seen an 'S' shaped engine. I have seen an > I5 - 'I' for Inline... =)

I use S for Straight, as in a Buick Straight-8.

"I" is confusing, as it is alsu osed to indicate that the crankshaft lies along the car's axis (as opposed to transverse, where the crank lies across the car... or bike).

Straight-4, straight-5 etc.
