I.E what does the volume actually reflect? What’s the difference between a 2.4L engine and a 7.3L?
In: Engineering
The volume they reflect is the total volume of the cylinders. Since each of the cylinders will fire once per revolution, the sum of the cylinder volumes is the volume of gas/air you combust for each revolution.
The reason sizes are listed is because it sort of reflects performance: more cylinder volume means you can burn more fuel at the same time, which means you’re putting out more power per revolution.
