How many pistons do you own?

[anonymous-user]

I mean pistons in or associated with internal combustion engines (so you can include any lying around in the garage). I have just had a count, and the total is:-

46 and three quarters.

[V88Dicky]

20, between 3 cars.

Can't thing of any others.

[v8will]

Just sticking with cars, 8 working and 5 borked.

[Captain Cadillac]

I remember this coming up on another board as "personal cylinder count"

Currently in cars? 120 cylinders as one car is lacking an engine currently. If I include spare engines then I am at 148.

Winner, unless a used car salesman joins the thread.

[Chicane-UK]

10, over two cars

[Big_Dog]

17 in three cars. Strangely odd number but its 8, 6 and 3. (Smartcar).

[Harding91]

6 and a half.

I kept the half piston i destroyed from my BMW

[Riley Blue]

24 of which 16 are in cars, 4 are well and truly borked and 4 are a Haynes model engine.

Mine are spread across nine cars, three motorbikes, and the three quarter piston is in an aeroplane.

[Mastodon2]

Just 4. To be fair, it is one of the best 4 cylinder engines of all time, but I'm hoping to go 6 or 8 in my next car, depending on what I get next.

[Mr2Mike]

Already done a few months back.

[mike9009]

Currently have 14. Two four pistoned engines, one five pistoned engine and an old broken piston from an RD250 i used to use in hovercraft racing many years ago.

1 x V8
1 x V6
1 x V2

[bamberwell]

3 x 4 cyl cars
1 x 4 cyl bike
1 x 2 cyl bike
3 x 1 cyl bike
2 x 1 garden implements
total 23

[K50 DEL]

A total of 32 for me

4 x V8

[GoneAnon]

Personally, 13 cylinders in internal combustion engines.
2x V6 (only one of these engines is actualy in a car)
1x straight1 (Lawnmower!)

I could also count 12 more in wife and kids cars (3x 4cylinders).
There are 2 more cylinders in my air-compressor (V-twin) but that is driven by an electrical motor as opposed to an internal combustion engine).

Does that make my total 25 or 27?

[GuinnessMK]

5 x 4 cyl = 20

All straight four's. Current bork count is 8 cyls

[scotty_d]

2 x v8
1 x 4 pot
1 x 1 mini moto

21

I have the relatively low (by my usual standards) current bork count of only 8 out of 46 and 3/4. 38 and 3/4 of my collection are working fine.
