    I read a funny article in either R&T or Motor Trend a few years ago about one's "cylinder count", which should include every cylinder owned by you in cars, trucks, boats, airplanes, lawnmowers, weedwackers, etc etc.

    Mine is a paltry 20: 2 V8s and 1 I4.

    What's yours?

    Sorta depends: do I get to count all the kart engine cylinders I have? Engines that ran before i tore them down? engines that would run if they weren't in cars with burned-out wiring harnesses?

    Cylinders I can go out and start right now: 13
    Cylinders I could get running if I had to: 9


    I'll claim a cool factor because one of my cylinders will rev to 19,000 rpm and produces 260 bhp per liter.
