To get the displacement in liters, use a cubic inches to liters conversion calculator. You can also multiply cubic inches by 0.016387 to get the displacement in liters.

Engine displacement can be measured in liters, cubic centimeters, or cubic inches. If the bore and stroke measurements are in inches, then the result from the formula above will be in cubic inches. If the measurements are in centimeters, then the result will be in cubic centimeters.

For example, let’s calculate the displacement for a motor with a bore size of 3.4″, a stroke length of 3.6″ and 8 cylinders.

The displacement of a piston engine is the volume defined by the travel of all of its pistons as they travel from the bottoms of their strokes (also known as bottom dead center or BDC) to the tops of their strokes (top dead center or TDC). Displacement is also known as the “swept volume” of the engine.

Displacement is used to indicate the size of an engine and can also be used to calculate the compression ratio of an engine.
