* Displacement is the total volume swept by all the pistons. This is a measure of the engine's size, not its configuration.
* Different engine configurations can have the same displacement. A 4.2-liter engine could be:
* 4-cylinder: Each cylinder would have a relatively large displacement.
* 6-cylinder: Each cylinder would have a smaller displacement.
* Even 8-cylinder or V6 configurations are possible, with smaller cylinder displacements.
To know the number of cylinders, you'll need more information about the specific engine. This could include:
* Make and model of the vehicle: Most car manufacturers publish this information in their specifications.
* Engine code: Each engine usually has a unique code that can be used to look up details.
Let me know if you have more details about the engine, and I can help you figure out the number of cylinders!
