Engine displacement is the total swept volume of all cylinders.

The math behind it

Each cylinder sweeps (π/4)·bore²·stroke; multiply by the number of cylinders.

Worked Example

86 mm bore and stroke, 4 cylinders → about 1998 cc (2.0 L).

Frequently Asked Questions

Bore vs stroke?

Bore is the cylinder diameter; stroke is the piston travel distance.
