What Mick says is valid. However, choosing the correct angle between the banks of cylinders is incredibly important in minimising these harmonics. For a V6 or V12, the ideal angle is 60, 120 or 180 degrees. For a V8 it is 90 or 180 degrees. For a V10, it's around 112 degrees. Of course, a 180 degree Vx engine is otherwise known as a boxer (Ferrari boxer 12, Porsche flat 6).
Things like the Commodore V6 or the old Capri V6 were 90 degree engines and as a consequence were/are rough as guts, and may necessitate the use of some auxillary harmonic dampener (eg balance rod in Commodore 6).
Sometimes these 'rules' are bent for some other important issues. In F1, the V10s have bizarre, unnatural bank angles because of space considerations.
