Title: What is your cylinder index?
Post by: Calpantera on February 11, 2013, 10:31:22 AM
We do this on another forum and I think its fun..
How many fuel burning cylinders do you own?
You can list them by running and non-running or just a total.
I currently have
5.7L V8 (Hemi)
350 SBC V8
351W SBF V8
4.7L V8 Dodge
1.6L 4 Mazda
2.0L 4 Ford
2.5L 4 Mazda
500CC 2 Suzuki
1 Cyl Mower
2 Chain saws

Total of 49 Cylinders, 9 not running at this time (The 351W and one of the chain saws).
Based on the virtual town of Garage Logic I am doing pretty good because I am still ahead for my age (46). They say a Garage Logician who attains a C.I. in excess of his age is revered. I am not sure if a Wankle engine counts but I think it would count as a 3 cylinder, open for debate though.  :)
Lets see those C.I.s, I am sure we have some members with some crazy numbers..

Ya tools count but they have to burn fuel so no compressors, unless it is a gas powered one of course, but then only the cylinders that are actually burning fuel  :)
