Ok Guys... Over on my Chevelle Club we've got a thread called "Cylinder Index".

We need you to count all of the internal combustion cylinders you have! (Air Compressors do not qualify!)

Cars, Trucks, Lawn Mowers, SnowBlowers, WeedWhackers, Boats, Sleds... 2-stroke, 4-stroke, Gas or Diesel

38

If you're counting ALL the cylinders of all my IC powered equipment it comes to 52 cylinders total. And a lot of oil changes go along with that many engines to maintain.

Wait - wouldn't firearms count as "internal combustion cylinders"???

Do revolvers count as multiple cylinders???


Just askin, wouldn't want to cheat, lol... :p

I've got a relatively high displacement for a relatively low number of cylinders, particularly if we count F.I.

Truck - 8
Race car - 4
Wife's DD - 6
Pressure washer - 1

Roadster will add 8 once the gen3 coyote is released

When I first heard of the cylinder index, the goal was to ensure that it was higher than your age!

CI = 73, Age = 55

That's not bad for a guy who tends to keep cars for up to 10 years and spent 10+ years without a car while living in Asia.
