4.9 liters

Front

What is the displacement of an 8 cylinder engine with a bore of 4.000 inches and a stroke of 3.000 inches?

Back

302 cubic inches

Front

How many rotations of the crankshaft are required to complete each stroke of a four-stroke cycle engine?

Back

One–half

Front

Define 'displacement' in the context of an engine.

Back

Displacement refers to the total volume of all the cylinders in an engine, typically measured in cubic inches or liters.

Front

What is the formula to calculate the displacement of an engine?

Back

Displacement = (π/4) × Bore² × Stroke × Number of Cylinders

Front

What is a four-stroke engine cycle?

Back

A four-stroke engine cycle consists of four stages: intake, compression, power, and exhaust.

Front

What role does the connecting rod play in an engine?

Back

The connecting rod connects the piston to the crankshaft, converting the piston's linear motion into rotary motion.

Front

What is the function of the camshaft in an engine?

Back

The camshaft controls the opening and closing of the engine's valves.
