Engine size conversion

Post by L82fly » Mon Apr 22, 2013 7:38 pm

Ever wonder how many cc your engine is rated at?
The conversion is to multiply cu inches by 16.387 to get cc

Examples:
.46 cu in engine x 16.387 = 7.5cc
1.20 cu in engine x 16.387 = 19.66cc
So easy even a caveman could do it !

The actual multiplier is really 16.387064 but I just rounded down a little to 16.387 to make it easier ;)

Thanks for that information Kip. I've always wondered what it was.
