hey.. have a used 98 Honda accord and was wondering.. how do i find out whether its a 4 cylinder or 6 cylinder engine?


thanks
 
When your car is running, turn off your radio and listen VERY closely. If you hear fump fump fump fump...fump fump fump fump, it's a 4-cylinder. If you here fump fump fump fump fump fump...fump fump fump fump fump fump, it's a 6 cylinder.
 
Or count the valves and then divide by 2. There's an equation out there somewhere if you google for it. Something like mph/tque*gallons of fuel or what not.

or divide by 4.

Other makes you can divide by 3 or even 5. Not exactly a reliable method.
 
Here's the easy way, if it's dog slow and gets decent fuel mileage, it's a four cylinder, if it's dog slow and gets lousy fuel mileage it's a six cylinder.

Because Oger stated the most excessive way to find out the number of cylinders in a engine. I would recommend taking the VIN and calling your local Honda dealer and ask them for the engine size and type.

 
you can't be serious...

and fix your subtitle.i

I thought this thread was going to be about honda actually creating a 4L engine, and a 6L engine (!!!!!!!!!!).

but no. and now i'm sad.
 
First you pop the hood.
Then you hold the hood with your hands.
Now look at the engine.
Last drop the hood on your d!ck because you dont' deserve one.
