Total cylinder count was addressed in this month's Road & Track magazine by
columnist Peter Egan. Well worth a look. Yes, the 6 under your workbench
count. As do your lawn mower, weed eater, motorcycle, etc. -- any internal
combustion cylinder you currently own. That's your total cylinder count
(TCC). Your lifetime cylinder count (LCC) includes any cylinder you have
ever owned. Cars you've sold, lawnmowers the trash truck hauled away, etc.
count in LCC, but not TCC. The whole discussion started when Egan went to a
fly-in and sat with his buddy, who has a weed-eater-motor powered margarita
blender..... Gotta love Egan!
