How many cylinders do you have

[Abilene Slim SASS 81783]

A recent thread got me to thinking about a conversation I had years ago called, "how many cylinders do you have?"

 

The criteria is to count the number of internal combustion engines you own -- cars, tools, yard implements, boats etc. For example, my Jeep counts as 6 cylinders and the snow thrower counts as 1.

 

I have 23. How about you?

[Kulshan 20262]

About 26 counting some model airplane engines.

[Tom Bullweed]

2 cars

1 pickup

1 mower

1 edger

2 chain saws

7 total

One of the cars is a Prius, but I counted it anyways. Seems like it should be a fraction.

[Badger Mountain Charlie SASS #43172]

I think that Utah Bob just went over the top today.

[Injun Ryder, SASS #36201L]

2 Plus 2 Plus 6 Plus 2 Rotors!

[DocWard]

If my math is correct, and including Mrs. Doc's car, 23. 25 if you count the two air compressors I own, which have cylinders as well.

[Boon Doggle]

It's not about how many you have (46), but if you are firing on all of them.

Not 7 total items. I assume the cars and truck are multiple cylinders?

2 Plus 2 Plus 6 Plus 2 Rotors!

Rotors -- as in rotary engines?

As in wop wop wop.

[Marshal Mo Hare, SASS #45984]

6 6 6 4 3 3 1 1 30

 

and if you add revolvers a hunnerd more or so

[Injun Ryder, SASS #36201L]

Rotors -- as in rotary engines?

 

1974 Mazda Rotary Pickup - Original owner!

If we are talking about guns, Doc McCandless has us all beat. I think he's got 100 cylinders just for all of those cap and ball Remmies he owns.

 

To answer the OP's question, about 24 but I may be forgetting some of the stuff in the back of the garage.

[Badlands Bob #61228]

I've only got 18. I feel kind of inadequate

[Forty Rod SASS 3935]

2 vehicles x 4 cylinders each = 8.

[Warden Callaway]

Too many to count and not nearly all are hitting.

 

COME ON SPRING!

[Noz]

I count 24

10- pickup

6-car

4 tractor

2 chain saws

2 lawn mower

[J. Mark Flint #31954 LIFE]

40 if I counted right!

[Muleshoe Bill SASS #67022]

What about air compressor cylinders? DO they count?

[Dawg Hair, SASS #29557]

Kin I count revolvers? Dey got cylinders and make noise!

 

I don't hit squat..........................but

[Finagler 6853 Life]

I'm embarrassed to admit it, 72 not including the youngest sons and youngest daughters cars that we still hold the title to. That would be 12 more. I obviously need to thin the herd.

Anyone want to buy a riding lawn mower? Cheap!

[Dorado]

6- 8cyl

1- 6

1- 5

2- 4

9- 1

 

So somewhere around 74 cylinders. Most are from my classic cars and the spare engines I have. If I'm not forgetting one or two which I probably am. I like engines, especially old ones that work and are easy to fix when they don't.

A better break down would be

1 - 289

2 - 327

1 - LQ4

1 - 390

1 - 7.3 Ford diesel

1 - whatever comes in a toyota 4-runner

1 - whatever 5 cylinder comes in a Colorado

1 - L head 134.2 4 cylinder out of my Willys MB

1 - whatever 4 cylinder is in my boat

9 - numerous small engines, lawnmower, edger, chainsaw, model airplanes, etc.

[Utah Bob #35998]

28 I think.

[Capt. R. Hugh Kidnme]

I am lacking. Only 14.

Since the move to VA, I jettisoned a lawn tractor and a snow blower.

[Forty Rod SASS 3935]

As in wop wop wop.

Some of us prefer the term "Dago", thank you very much.

[Chickasaw Bill SASS #70001]

45 +/-

[Mack Hacker, #60477]

81. Unless I missed something

[Trailrider #896]

Do I count the ones on my HO scale model railroad steam locomotives?

Steam is not internal combustion. Disallowed. 5 yard penalty. : D

Cool. Now there's real gear/motor head!
