bore is the diameter of the piston and stroke is the length the piston moves in the cylinder.for example if bore x stroke is 1x3 then 1 is the diameter of the piston and 3 is the length of the cylinder.if bore is greater than stroke then it is a short stroke engine.

What does bore x stroke mean?

Bore = the (internal) diameter of the cylnder hole in the engine block. Stroke = the distance the piston travels up (or down) the bore during its' cycle. If you multiply the bore dimension by the stroke dimension you will get the volumetric displacement of that cylinder. thus, Vd = (3.1416/4) (dia.) squared x Stroke


How engine capacity is worked out 4 cylinder engine?

I assume you mean engine displacement? To calculate engine displacement, use this formula: Bore x bore x stroke x .7854 x number of cylinders.


What does litre engine mean?

It is a metric measurment of engine size. An example is the 350 Cubic Inch Chevy engine. It is also called a 5.7 Liter engine. This measurment is the bore of the cylinder and the distance it travels. Take the engines bore X stroke X the #of cylinders=liters


What does bore and stroke mean?

AnswerBore is the size of the pistons. Stroke is each time the piston moves e.g. the piston moving up is 1 stroke then down is another stroke. there are both 2 and 4 stroke engines, a 2 stroke engine 'fires' once every revolution and a 4 stroke engine 'fires' every 2 revolutions. Hope that explains it!The answer is not fully correct. Bore is indeed the size, meaning the "diameter" of the pistons, and the strokeis actually the "depth" of the piston from top to bottom. In other words, it is the distance that the pistons undergo in one stroke ( as explained above ). for example, in service manuals you will find : Bore and Stroke - 74 X 58 mm that is : Bore = 74mm & Stroke = 58mm . :) Ophir BYv :)


What kind of oil do you use for 4 stroke 125 scooter?

You need to define what your use of the oil will be. If you mean adding oil to the fuel, you do not need to do this on an 4 stroke motor. Or maybe you mean engine oil, or maybe transmission oil?


What is mean by cubic centimeters?

The capacity of your engine is derived from the swept volume of one cylinder (area of the bore * the stroke) * the number of cylinders. (dimensions in centimeters, result in cubic centimeters)


What is the difference in the gm engine 400 and 455?

If you mean the difference between the Pontiac 400 and 455....the differences are the bore size, the crank stroke length, and the main bearing journals. All are bigger on the 455. However, there is also a small block Chevy 400....which has nothing the same as the other two. The Pontiac 400 has a bore of 4.12, stroke 3.75 and 3" main journals. The 455 has a bore of 4.151, stroke of 4.21, and 3.25" main journals.


What does stroke mean in car terms?

The distance a piston travels within the cylinder bore, from the very top to the very bottom. This limit is the stroke.
