Wink Engine displacment

<<Bore = 3.24 in x 2.54 cm/in x Pi = 25.86 cm^2 (area of piston face)
Stroke = 3.11 in x 2.54 cm/in = 7.90 cm
Area of piston face x Stroke X 6 cylinders = 25.86 x 7.90 x 6 = 1225.76 cm^3

Did I do that right?>>


Not quite. The area of a circle is PI x (d/2)^2. You left out the squared .... so

piston face area = (3.11/2 x 2.54)^2 = 53.2 cm^2

displacment then becomes 2.52 Liters or 153.8 in^3

Why more HP I still haven't a clue!
