I got my new engine together a few days ago.

It's now at my auto shop undergoing the final assembly of exterior components before it'll go back into my car.

Yep, that's an engine alright.

Holy shit ! Be careful with the speed. Oh my, that's a big fucking engine you've got there.

So, how many cylinders?
Commented 15 years ago2009-11-14 10:53:15 UTC Comment #52020
now I know nothing about engines, so I'm probably wrong about this but it kinda looks like you got 8 cylinders right?

I face palmed at Striker's comment. God damn that was dumb.

o_o
1.9L displacement, tiny engine, if it were 8 cylinders... oh my gawd.

No no, that's a 4-banger guys, don't hurt yourselves thinking about it too hard. Most V8 motors won't run a displacement lower than 4.0L displacement so that's one thing to keep in mind.

In any case, good luck getting that car up and running sir!

I'm pretty sure (c)striker was being sarcastic. I mean, I hope he was. And it's understandable, because this seriously is a tiny engine.

Really tiny. The intake manifold lies, it's not even a 1.9, it's actually a 1.6 with a 1.9 intake. Just don't tell the guy at the smog shop and I'll be fine.

Eh, people do rebuild commuter car engines you know... I'm not trying to go fast or anything.

Really? That's small?
You should have put a ruler beside it for scale.

I'm talking about displacement... not the physical size of the engine. Although physically it is quite small compared to most other engines, you just don't usually see them outside of your car very much. It's also a lot taller than, say, a V6 engine, but overall it's still smaller and lighter than that.
