A question to AC mechanics here. Are the opposed cylinder piston engines in our planes of a boxer type or flat V type? I was looking at a crankshaft of a Lyc IO360 and it seems to be a boxer. Does that apply to the rest of Lyco engines? Are Continentals the same?
 
Should be easy to figure out...

"In a true boxer engine, every piston has its own crankpin."
 
All I've seen are boxer type. But in my opinion, it really doesn't matter much except for academic discussions.
