One of my favorite auto writers Peter Eagan of R&T did an article on how many cylinders he had at home including lawn mowers, blowers, etc.

Whats your count?

I've got:

3.8 litre GM Marine = 6
1-2cyl Johnson Marine = 2
1-1 cyl Ted Williams = 1
1 weed wacker = 1
1 5'5 hp mower= 1
1 12hp B&S tractor= 1
1 chain saw = 1
1 air compressor = 1 (does this count?)
1 5 cyl Volvo = 5
1 6 cyl TR = 6
Total for now = 25

(note - 8 to be added next week when my Land Cruiser shows up.)

p.s hydraulic cylinders don't count! /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/smile.gif

I've owned cars with 4, 6, 8 and 12 cylinders, so I keep thinking I should own a 3, 5 and 10 as well, just to complete the set. However, there aren't any cars with those motors that interest me. (Well, a Porsche Carrera GT, but I'll need to win the lottery first).

Right now I'm into 4's.

Miata turbo: 4
Subaru Legacy: 4
Nissan Frontier: 4
Ferguson TE20: 4
my son's RX7: 0!
 
Passat #1 = 6
Passat #2 = 4
MGB = 4
Taurus = 6
Escort = 4
Snowblower= 1
Tractor = 2
Trimmer = 1
Compressor= 1
Blower = 1
Chain Saw = 1
Chipper/shredder = 1
Ride-on mower #2 = 1
Ride-on Mower #3 = 1
Walk-behind mower = 1

Grand total = 25

2 spare Hunter motors - 8
Ford Fairmont - 6
Vauxhall Velox - 6
Honda Legend - 6
3.3 Cresta motor - 6
186 Holden motor - 6
LD28 Nissan motor -6

20 MG engines in shed x 4 = 80
About 10 MG parts car with engines still in them x 4 = 40
2 MG's "For Sale" x 4 = 8

oops, forgot my RV...that's 8 more
 
Tony, why do you say 'oh my!?' Thats only a paltry 250 cylinders you own. I think you may win the award for most cylinders owned on the forum. /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/thumbsup.gif
 
Easy

Escort - 4
Mowers - one electric and one pushreel
weedeater - also electric

Yay, I win, this is like golf isn't it?
