Abilene Slim SASS 81783 Posted February 4, 2016 Share Posted February 4, 2016 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? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tom Bullweed Posted February 4, 2016 Share Posted February 4, 2016 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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

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.

Finagler 6853 Life Posted February 4, 2016 Share Posted February 4, 2016 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! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dorado Posted February 4, 2016 Share Posted February 4, 2016 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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
