To find volume of a cylinder you multiply its cross sectional area (
area of the bore) by the height (stroke).

The area of any circle is pi*radius^2.  Bore/2=radius.  So, you divide
the bore by 2 for use in this equation.

(dope slap) Yes, see where it says "(# of cyls)"?  You'd put the number
of cylinders there.  For a 4-cylinder, that would be "4".  

Caught you napping, huh?  ;P  Sorry to be such a smartass, but all in
good fun...right?

(dope slap #2) You slept through geometry too!  They didn't teach this
in Algebra!  Somebody stop me...Randy's gonna slap me if we ever
meet...

You will regret more what you didn't do and could have than what you did do and shouldn't have.
