Understanding Engine Displacement
Displacement is the total volume swept by all pistons during one complete engine cycle.
Formula: V = π × (bore/2)² × stroke × cylinders
Oversquare (short stroke): Bore > stroke. Higher revving, more power at high RPM. Common in sports cars.
Undersquare (long stroke): Stroke > bore. More torque at low RPM. Common in trucks and diesel engines.
Quick conversions: 1 L = 1000 cc = 61 ci (approximately)
