Better yet, what is the definition of an even or odd firing engine?

All flat 6's are even-firing (As far as I know). They are also inherently balanced. (like flat 12's, 60 degree V-12, 60 degree V-6, 90 degree V-8, straight 6, etc.)
The 90 degree GM V6's derived from a V8 were odd firing (Well there's the Harley Vee twin). They were 'rough' and were not used that long.
Even firing means that the time (degree) interval between firing is the same for all cylinders.
An uneven engine fired with longer intervals with every other fire.
(F short F long F short F long F short F... etc.)
