About This Tool

The Engine Displacement Calculator computes total internal combustion engine swept volume in Cubic Centimeters (CC), Liters (L), and Cubic Inches (CID) directly from cylinder bore diameter, crankshaft stroke, and cylinder count.

### Mechanical Principles & Displacement Formulas Engine displacement represents the swept volume created by all pistons traveling between Top Dead Center (TDC) and Bottom Dead Center (BDC): - **Single Cylinder Swept Volume**: $$\text{Cylinder Volume (CC)} = \pi \times \left(\frac{\text{Bore (mm)}}{20}\right)^2 \times \left(\frac{\text{Stroke (mm)}}{10}\right)$$ - **Total Engine Swept Volume**: $$\text{Total Displacement (CC)} = \text{Single Cylinder CC} \times \text{Number of Cylinders}$$ - **Volumetric Unit Conversions**: $$\text{Displacement (Liters)} = \frac{\text{Total CC}}{1{,}000}$$ $$\text{Displacement (Cubic Inches / CID)} = \text{Total CC} \times 0.0610237$$

### Worked Calculation Example Calculating displacement for a 4-cylinder engine with an 84.0 mm cylinder bore and a 90.0 mm crankshaft stroke: - **Cylinder Radius**: $8.40\text{ cm} / 2 = 4.20\text{ cm}$ - **Per-Cylinder Volume**: $\pi \times (4.20)^2 \times 9.00 = 3.14159 \times 17.64 \times 9.00 \approx 498.76\text{ CC}$ - **Total Engine Displacement**: $498.76 \times 4 = 1{,}995.04\text{ CC}$ - **Liter Equivalent**: $1{,}995.04 / 1{,}000 = 2.00\text{ Liters}$ - **Cubic Inch Equivalent**: $1{,}995.04 \times 0.0610237 = 121.75\text{ CID}$

### In-Browser Processing & Privacy Calculations execute locally inside your browser runtime. No engine specifications, vehicle details, or workshop logs are uploaded across the network.

How to Use

  1. 1

    Enter the cylinder bore diameter in millimeters (mm).

  2. 2

    Enter the crankshaft stroke length in millimeters (mm).

  3. 3

    Specify the total number of engine cylinders (e.g. 4, 6, or 8).

  4. 4

    Review total displacement in Liters, CCs, and Cubic Inches alongside per-cylinder volume.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is the mathematical difference between bore and stroke?

Bore is the internal diameter of the engine cylinder wall, while stroke is the linear distance the piston travels from the top to the bottom of the cylinder.

How do I convert imperial inches to millimeters for this calculator?

Multiply inches by 25.4 to obtain millimeters (for example, a 4.00-inch bore equals 101.6 mm, and a 3.48-inch stroke equals 88.39 mm).

Are any engine dimensions stored on external servers?

No. The displacement math runs 100% client-side in your browser.
