Hariho ubwoko bubiri bwa moteri ya V8 bitewe na crankshaft.

Indege ihagaritse nuburyo busanzwe bwa V8 mumodoka zo muri Amerika. Inguni hagati ya buri crank mumatsinda (itsinda rya 4) niyayibanjirije ni 90 °, kubwibyo rero ni imiterere ihagaritse iyo urebye uhereye kumutwe umwe. Ubuso buhagaritse bushobora kugera ku buringanire bwiza, ariko bisaba icyuma kiremereye. Kubera inertia nini yo kuzunguruka, moteri ya V8 hamwe niyi verticale ifite umuvuduko muke, kandi ntishobora kwihuta cyangwa kwihuta vuba ugereranije nubundi bwoko bwa moteri.

Sisitemu igoye kandi hafi ya sisitemu yoguhindura ubu yahindutse umutwe munini kubashushanya imodoka zo gusiganwa zicara hamwe.

Indege bivuze ko igikona ari 180 °. Impirimbanyi zabo ntabwo zuzuye neza, keretse niba impirimbanyi ikoreshwa, kunyeganyega ni binini cyane. Kuberako ntakeneye ibyuma biremereye, igikonjo gifite uburemere buke nubusembure buke, kandi birashobora kugira umuvuduko mwinshi no kwihuta. Iyi miterere irasanzwe cyane muri litiro 1.5 yimodoka igezweho yo gusiganwa Coventry Climax. Iyi moteri yavuye mu ndege ihagaze igera ku buryo buboneye.
