Then someone mentioned. That's a lot of working pistons. Well. Just for fun. I just counted up my working pistons. I've got 160. Entertaining way to look at it. Bob Dunahugh

Bob,
There is an actual "Gearhead" calculation. If you own more cylinders than your age, you are a Gearhead. I was one for years. I have downsized by 12 and don't get close.
Don't know about a compressor. I think it was intended to be engine cylinders. But we must remember chainsaws, lawnmowers, outboards, etc. Remember, most GMCs are 10 cylinders. Can't forget the Onan.

Cars/trucks only I am currently at 66... + 10 "Rotors" on my Mazda Wankel engined vehicles... Also 5 Turbos, but no superchargers.
Another fun thing to look at is what engine "configurations" do you own?
I have inline 4, V6, V8, V10, 2 Rotor, + an inline 4 and V8 Diesels...
Never owned any sort of boxer engine, inline 3, 5, 6 or a V12....

If you have an Onan you have a boxer.
