Title: piston count
Post by: sideways on November 10, 2009, 02:32:22 AM: How many pintons do you have??

I have......

8-peugeot 505sx2
4-mini
4-toyota corona
3-air compressorsx3
1-air powered engine
1-dirtbike
1-honda g200
1-suzuki s200
2-biggs mowersx2
1-diesel robin 265
1-kawasaki tg18 whipper snipper
1-chainsaw engine
1-gmc mower
5-victa mowersx5

.....34 pistons! lol

Who ever has the most pistons wins!

*RULES* mastercylinders, hydraulic rams, brake calipers ect dont count, only engines, air compressors, steam engines ect count.

Pistons that are just sitting around without the block dont count(if you have an engine in bits that is complete then it counts but if you have say some pistons that have conrods crank(or just pistons by themselves) ect but no block then it doesn't count.

Rotaries count as three pistons per rotor.

Soooo whos got the most?

Title: Re: piston count
Post by: Aaron on January 27, 2011, 01:09:56 PM: The Niki 2
Spare engine
Title: Re: piston count
Post by: Aaron on January 27, 2011, 01:14:24 PM: Try that again.......

The Niki = 2
spare Niki engine = 2
Jeep Cherokee = 6
Loncin Motorbike = 1
GMC Generator = 1
Air Compressor x 2 = 2

So 14, hmmm seems a bit inadquate.....
I know, 9 x Cox 049 model aircraft engines = 9.

So that brings it to a total of 23, bit more respectable.
