Good lawd.... can I count my air compressors too?

1 VR6 = 6
1 TDI = 4
1 Chrysler 3.8 = 6.

Total = 16.

Interesting note... I've never owned an engine with more than 2 valves.... and I don't think my wife has either. 2 valvers, for life. :D

Most of mine have 2 valves/cyl too... The only ones that don't are the GS550, 4cyl, 16 valves.. And the dirtbikes... Both of them have 5 valves. I think the chainsaws, weedwackers, and the 3 snowmobiles make up for it though.. None of them have any valves, unless you count the reeds...

Maybe the contest should be for voulme of compression ignition space. I think 'Meister's is measured in cubic metres!:D:D



And don't forget the APU in the tail:


I win on total volume fo the engines, CF6's have an air compression ratio of 30.4:1 by the way, airflow is 1750 lb/s :D

__. Maybe a guy from NC shouldn't say it but it sounds like it might be hard to get around somebody's yard with all the cars on cinder blocks .... IYKWIM!

Actually I think I can say all the cars at my house have wheels and tires, and only 2 of them don't start right up, :p.. I think only one has flat tires, but it's going to the scrap yard on Tuesday..

Nice! ... amazingly, none up on blocks and all actually have tires on them! Doesn't mean they are anywhere near drivable either.... Still - the back yard is a problem.

Hey now, the stipulation was that they be running cylinders. MGs spend too much time in the shop! :D ;)
Ha! Being on a diesel forum, I thought I could sneak that by! But you're right, this week I think it needs a fuel pump, or is it a carburetor? Wait, nope, nope.... it's just overheating!

You should play this game with "redneck" rules.

How many cylinders do you have that do not run?:D

I'm at zero but I bet there are some high numbers out there.

Ha ha, I'm at 8 that don't run. The engine that I'm in the midst of rebuilding is getting really close, but I'm missing two O-rings for putting the cooling system back together, and until I fix that, I can't put the carbs on, and until that happens ... it doesn't run. I'm also in the midst of rebuilding my spare engine, but it has no bike to go into ...

I'm at 25 that don't run. Seventeen diesel (3x 4-cylinder VW, 1x Audi 5-cylinder), four propane (Well, in the works, modified 1.8 VW), and four aircooled gasoline (Super beetle!)

I'm back up to 18. Rebuilt engine successfully fired up last Tuesday, and today I ran it up to normal operating temperature at no load and moderate revs for initial break-in. All seems well.

My spare engine (4 more cylinders) is still waiting for a head gasket to show up - but it has no bike to belong to.

I might be adding 3 more next weekend - more details if it happens ...

Jetta TDI 4
John Deere 870 3
Toyota PU 4
Pressure washer 1
Honda mower 1
lawn mower 1
Chain saw 1
Weed wacker 1
3 Air compressors 5
Spare B&S engine 1
Dead mowers 2

So 7 working diesel cylinders
4 gas auto cylinders
5 small single cylinder yard tools
5 air compressor cylinders. One compressor needs a pressure switch, another a tank
2 dead or parts cylinders.

No wonder I don't want to do yard work. Too many cylinders to get started. Well the Honda and the 870 start right up. I burned through the last of my chicken fat biodiesel in the JD. Starting that up made me smile. Soy BD is not the same.
