In a straight-six (I6) diesel engine, each cylinder fires once every two revolutions of the crankshaft. Since there are six cylinders, it takes a total of 720 degrees of crankshaft rotation (360 degrees for each complete revolution) to fire all cylinders. Therefore, all cylinders fire once in 720 degrees of crankshaft rotation.
