And of course, the CC's (not the chips), Cubic Centimetres of an engine.
These are measurements of what? Air displacement?
Thanks,

Its the volume that your engine displaces for every cycle for eg,. If you have 4 cylinders in your car and its a 2.0 litres engine. It means each cylinder can hold 0.5litres of air or air-fuel mixture every cycle......NMN

. in the 70's, the government tried to change the measuring system to meteoric. this didn't go over to well with most Americans.however, the auto company's adopted some of it. before then an engine size was in cubic inches. to convert liters back to cubic inches, just multiply the liters by 60.
example....a 5.2 liter engine, is the same as a 318 cubic inch engine, or close. this is the total volume of all the cylinders.

If I'm not mistaken, I believe that this is a measure of the volume of the cylinders. A CC or cubic centimeter is just another name for milliliter, which is 1/1000th of a litre. So 1800CCs is the same as 1.8 liters

The measurment involved is the liquid capacity of the engine's cylinders. Generally, the larger the cylinders the more power the engine will have. Thus, a car with a "1.8 liter" engine has a total cylinder capacity of 1.8 liquid liters, a 2.0 liter has that amount of capacity, and so on ..

Litre is the size.....in the US we usually go by cubic inches or litre; the size is measured by bore X stroke. the bore is the measure of the diameter of the cylinder and the stroke is the distance between the piston when its at top dead center and bottom dead center of its revolution.

It is the total size of your engine (4 cylinder) displacement of the combustion chambers. Excellent question.

That's the engine size in displacement of liters.

This refers to the amount of displacement created by the pistons of the engine.
Cubic Centimeters is another way of measuring it

It's a measure of volume. If you were to fill the empty cylinders with water, the amount of water they would hold is the amount, in Liters, that you see in the rating.
