| rdfs:comment | - Engine displacement is defined as the total volume of air/fuel mixture an engine can draw in during one complete engine cycle; it is normally stated in cubic inches, cubic centimeters, or litres. In a piston engine, this is the volume that is swept as the pistons are moved from top dead center to bottom dead center.
- Engine displacement is determined from the bore and stroke of an engine's cylinders. The bore is the diameter of the circular chambers cut into the cylinder block. Examples: The 427 Chevy bore is 4.312 in, and the stroke is 3.65 in, therefore the displacement for this 8-cylinder engine is: 3.1416/4 * 4.3122 * 3.65 * 8 = 426.41380142592 CID. If the bore is 10 cm and the stroke is 5 cm with 4 cylinders, the calculation is: 3.1416/4 * 102 * 5 * 4 = 1570 cm3 = 1.57 liters
