How can a engine number tell you the size of the engine?

The casting number will tell you what block it is, but in some cases the block will be more than one displacement. IE 302, 327, 350ci on the same casting number (chevy).

1Check your owner's manual for information concerning the size of your engine. Engine size is usually referred to in a couple of ways. The first is by cylinder.

Many cars have a V-8 engine (8-cylinder), V-6 engine (6-cylinder) or a 4-cylinder engine. Other ways to describe an engine is by liter. Chevrolet engines come in a variety of sizes including the 3.4L, 3.8L, 4.6L, 5.0L and many more options both smaller and larger.

Your owner's manual should refer to your engine size in the maintenance portion of the book. Look for either of these types of references. 2Pop the hood of your vehicle and examine the engine case.

Often, the size can be found stamped onto the engine, or on a label that is attached to the exterior of the engine. Look on both sides and the top of the engine for this information. Keep in mind that if your vehicle has been running, you should shut it off and take caution when touching anything under the hood in case it may be hot.

3Count the spark plugs. Pop off the plastic engine cover. In most Chevrolet vehicles, you can see the spark plugs after removing the engine cover.

If you see four spark plugs, you have a 4-cylinder engine. If you count 6 spark plugs, you have a V-6. A V-8 engine has eight spark plugs.

The number of spark plugs directly correlates to the number of valves your engine has. 4Look at the exterior of your car. Many times the exterior markings on the body of your vehicle indicates the size of motor your vehicle has.

This marking is usually designated in liters. 5Write down the Vehicle Identification Number (VIN) and use it to determine the engine size. Call your local Chevrolet dealership to inquire about the engine size using the VIN, or check online for the engine size.

Many websites allow you to enter your VIN number and receive information about your particular vehicle model. 6Take your vehicle to an experienced mechanic to find the size of your engine. If none of the other steps worked, or if you know for a fact that your engine was put in as a replacement, a mechanic may be your best bet when attempting to identify your engine size.

I cant really gove you an answer,but what I can give you is a way to a solution, that is you have to find the anglde that you relate to or peaks your interest. A good paper is one that people get drawn into because it reaches them ln some way.As for me WW11 to me, I think of the holocaust and the effect it had on the survivors, their families and those who stood by and did nothing until it was too late.
