Liters Of Wut?!!?!

[basballny2]

i always wondered wut the liters meant....5.7 wut.....

You know.. I have no idea. Now I feel like an idiot.

displacement. It's the same in a different measurement schema.

It's just confusing when you think about it... I mean.. you measure liquid in liters..

it's just another measure of volume. Nice ass by the way...

Thanks..

But how do they actually measure it?

I never did it so I couldn't tell you. Thanks for that hug, you smell good.

ya thats wut i meant....liters of wut....wut are we using in 5.7 liters....

space, air, volume, it's how big the usable combustion area is in the engine basically.

[basballny2]

so for instance....in the ls1's there are 5.7 liters of combustion space?

yup.

You got it.

Bring piston to topmost position in cylinder, mark cylinder wall at the top of the piston. Now put piston at bottommost position. Pour liquid into cylinder until it reaches where you made the mark. Do it 8 times since there are 8 cylinders, add it all together, and you get 5.7 liters.

5.69xxxxx something.

[basballny2]

ahhhhh got ya thx every1

[Hot Black Trans-Am]

ahhhhh got ya thx every1

Just don't go and fill you engine with water to test it out now!

heres an easy conversion factor bewteen cubic inches and liters:

multiply the liters by 60, and u get the cubic inch displacement.

obviously, if u have the CI displacement, divide by 60 and thats how many liters u got...

its a measure of inside the cylinder (combustion area)

(bore x stroke) x #ofcylinders = displacement

bore = the diameter of the cylinder
stroke is the distance traveled by the piston inside the cylinder.

get it?

[basballny2]

if u multiply 5.7 by 60 you get 342 CI...arent the ls1's 346?

its actually supposed to be multplyed by 61 to give a more accurate number, the real conversions is something like 61.3216574986416351354685

['00T/A]

correction 61.0237441
