What's the difference between a 1.8L 4 cylinder engine and a 2.7L 4 cylidner engine? The obvious answer is .9 but i am asking because i don't understand the whole "liter" thing.

There's a difference of 900 cubic centimeters of space (for air and fuel) inside the (4) cylinders. That makes the engine capable of producing more power. The larger cubic centimeter capacity is created by either making the cylinder bore larger or incrementing the stroke of the piston.

Litres is the size same as in cubic inches. To cobert litres to Cubic Inches you multiply by 60, to convert the other way divide by 60. A 2.7 L engine is roughly 142 CI..... a 1.8 litre is roughly 108 Cubic inches.

The liter is a displacement, like it would take 1.8 liters of water to fill up all four cylinders..since the 2.7 is bigger by .9 its almost another liter more displaced. Hope this helps.

The litre thing seems to be explained, but remember the £180 insurance hike on the 2.7 per annum.

Think of it as 1800cc vs 2700 cc (cubic centimeters). Or the 2.7 is 50% larger than the 1.8

the litre thing is all about cylinder bore size //or diameter // or with piston all the way down how much fluid can be poured whrn dtraight up and down
