The total piston count is what actually matters though. Not the total engine count.

took a while to count though, because of a mix of 1,2,4,6,and 8 cyl engines.

I also forgot to count a generator which I've never set up, and a (edit: crashed) 4cyl bike which I've been storing for a friend for like 20 years.

I really need to thin some stuff out.

edit2: and a spare 4cyl block from a nash rambler.

I disagree. From a maintenance stand point, how many carburetors followed by how many oil changes!

I am just playing with OP as the "Cylinder Index" has been a thing for 30+ years amongst enthusiasts of all things oil based.. Counting how man "pistons and cylinders" you have in your possession.

Spare motors not in vehicles
350 V8 x3

Too fucking many.

The vehicles and planes get me to 70 cylinders.

I don’t even know if I can remember how many others there are.

ETA
15 more I can think of off the top of my head between outdoor power equipment.

Your cylinder index should equal your age. FYI. 1 piston equals one cylinder. Regardless of fuel or type.

3 vics = 14 pistons
1 antique tractor = 4 pistons
3 Go-Karts = 3 pistons
1 crf-50 = 1 piston
1 2-cyl mower = 2 pistons
1 4-stroke weed eater = 1 piston
1 chainsaw = 1 piston
1 outboard = 1 piston
1 15hp motor pulled from old mower = 1 piston

So...

13 engines and 28 pistons

And fuck Greta!

Eta: forgot 1!

Last time this came up, the “cylinder index” was better than 2. I’m not counting again.

Cylinder index: cylinders/age
There was a touch over 100 spark plugs in my harem, and it’s 10-15 higher than last count.
