Re: Engine Size and Cubic inch

As the name Displacement describes, it is the difference in the size of the cylinder compaired from the piston at the top then the bottom of the cylinder. It is the difference across the entire engine. Liters is just the metric conversion of it.
In a nut shell, it is the size of the holes the pistons go in.
