Understanding the different parameters
Number of cylinders
This is quite simply the number of cylinders your engine has. What more could we say?
Bore size
The bore size is the diameter of each cylinder.
Stroke length
The stroke length is how far the piston travels inside the cylinder.
How to calculate engine displacement
The formula to calculate an engine's displacement can be seen below, this is what we use in the calculator above.
Engine displacement = π(½ × bore size)2 × stroke length × number of cylinders
