The 24 Hours of Lemons Forums → Bench Racing → He who dies with the most cylinders wins
Count your cylinders. Doesn't matter running or not, go cart, snowmoble, lawn mower, air compressor, model airplane engine, Yes car engines running or not..
However the rule is they all have to be in your possession. Can't count the ones over at friends barns, The ones you gave to your daughter who's off at college or the ones you used to have..
Wankels counts as 3?
What would be the cylinder-equivalent for my electric lawn mower and R/C car? And do you have to actually die to win?
I only have 35, right now.

Number of cylinder divided by your age:
Like high school, show your math...
Sentra 4
Integra 4
Ninja 4
Total 12
12/28=0.42 cylinders per year
Forgot I baught a generator (1) last week
Total 13
13/28=0.46
Lot of help that did.
Still the lowest. Drat.

Although if we are doing Cyl per year shouldnt we count all the cylinders we've had? I just used those currently at my house. The other list would take waaaay too much math for today.

If we counted all the money I ever had, I would be a billionaire on the cover of Forbes. If we just count current inventory, I'm a lowly thousandaire.
OP said "he who dies"
Clearly none of us are dead (well maybe braindead) so just make it a current inventory. The age just offers a scale.
OK.
F350- 8
Volvo- 6
filthy- 4
914- 6
2 spare motors- 8
mower- 1
generator- 1
weed eater- 1
total- 35. I'm 42
35/42= .83 cyl per year.
I like the idea of figuring every engine owned.
That'd be really big number here.

My count is 68 right now, but I'm likely missing some. 68/44=1.55cyl/yr.

I don't agree with adding compressor cylinders, but the OP approved them, so I counted them. I think they should have to be powered cylinders.
If we were counting all present and past cylinders, it would take me far longer to come up with an answer. It would likely be over 150 and could be over 200.
My cylinders, here at the house now:
'68 Fury: 8
'68 Torino:8

Total: 153 cylinders divided by 37 = 4.135 per year (I'm sure I forgot some)
What have I won, besides constant headaches keeping these infernal combustion engines running?
And sorry, but no way compressor cylinders count.
Mustang, 8
Honda, 6
Suburban, 8
Jaguar, 6
Cadillac, 8
472 Caddy motor, 8
2 18 horse lawnmowers, 4
push mower, 1
2 chainsaws, 2
weedwhacker, 1
roto-tiller, 1
*** 53 pistons ***
'83 RX-7, 2 rotors
2 spare 12As, 4 rotors
disassembled 13B, 2 rotors
2 disassembled 12As, 4 rotors
*** 12 rotors ***
That's 65 pistons and rotors all together.
65 / 38 = 1.71
If you count rotors as 3 pistons it's 89.
89 / 38 = 2.34
I've said it before and I'll say it again, my wife is a saint.

Your wife deserves a prize....your prize is her
I'm around 70 w/ an additional 3 vehicles not at my place.
I don't think anyone will beat my Leiutenant, who has to own at least 30 cars and 15 motorcycles in many of his outbuildinngs and barns on many properties.
I just thought of someone: Does anyone on the website own a junkyard (besides Speedy)?
It's not a junkyard, it's a Lemons fabrication plant. Most of what I listed is crap, but they all have a purpose.
56 total on my property (0.2 acres)
56/28 = 2
Count your cylinders. Doesn't matter running or not, go cart, snowmoble, lawn mower, air compressor, model airplane engine, Yes car engines running or not..
However the rule is they all have to be in your possession. Can't count the ones over at friends barns, The ones you gave to your daughter who's off at college or the ones you used to have..
OK The ones I can see total 129..
But I am not about to go crawling around on that pile of parts to try to count the rest of them..
I get to 100 pretty easy with just my Jaguars.. all of those 12 cylinders? (8) plus 2 six cylinder Jagaurs. ("D" type) OH did you know the engine in Chevy trail blazers and 6 GMC Evnvoys is a reworked Jaguar engine?
Yeh Chevy was siffing around Jagaur a while back trying to decide to buy it or not.. Ford came in and offered more but before the deal was struck Chevy bought all the tooling etc.. for the in line 6 DOHC 4 valve per cylinder all aluminum engine.
I digress. 4 MG TD,
2 lawn mower, 2air compressor, 1 air compressor, 1weed wacker, 1chain saw, 4 Spare MG TD lock* big red )Pick up,
I'd guess in the stack of stuff there are at least 4 more V12's and the odd 6 clyinder Jag, Seems like I've got a pretty snarfy V8 form th covette races car.. OH and theose 948 engines (3) they should be in there..
19 Loose british 4-cyl engines in my 2 car garage = 76 cyls
1 loose Japanese 4-cyl engine in my 2 car garage = 4 cyls
4 British 4-cyl engines in vehicles = 16 cyls
2 French 4-cyl engines in vehicles = 8 cyls
1 German 4-cyl engine in vehicle = 4cyls
2 Japanese 4-cyl engines in vehicles = 8cyls
1 'Merican 8-cyl engine in vehicle = 8cyls
1 lawnmower = 1cyl
2 air compressors = 3cyls
(an8 8 engineless cars in the backyard and 1 engineless box truck in my driveway)
128 cyls /40 = 3.2
how about cyls per acre?
128 / .8 = 160 cyls/acre
240Z - 6
extra 240Z engine - 6
MR2 - 4
Tacoma - 6
Pathfinder - 6
Sienna - 6, but lame, so I'll only count as 3
Boat - 6
Piece of shit racecar - 4
pit bikes - 3 total
go karts - 2 total
lawn tractor - 2
weedwhackers and such - 4
Do brake parts count?????
50/38 = totally lame compared to Speedycop.
Before, I felt lacking with my less than 1/2, but now I realize, I'm just the most efficient / least insane.
Hmmmmm

I'm not counting the motors that I have out of cars, that'd add about 100 cylinders and 14 epitrochoidal rotor housings...
So... 70ish + 100s out of cars
