I didn't know that anyone had made a 7 cylinder engine. Typically they like to be able to divide 720 by the number of cylinders and get a whole number out of it. this is how far apart the cylinders need to fire in the cycle. 720/7=102.85714. . .
For 1,2,3,4,5,6,8,9,10,12,16,18,20,24 everything works out cleanly.

As for having a larger cylinder, would it be setup with a sort of AFM type deal where it only comes on occasionally? Otherwise why not go with 5 equal cylinders?
