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.

Remove the cylinder head(s) and count the number of pistons.

No, you didn't.

open the hood. If it says 2.4L then it's a 4 banger. If it says 3.0L it's a 6 banger.

 

[Slvrtg277]

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.

Pop the hood.

or divide by 4.

Other makes you can divide by 3 or even 5. Not exactly a reliable method.

If you have the VIN handy you can look it up without ever walking outside.

Viper GTS

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.

 

[Achtung]

I'm pretty sure all 6 cyl Accords will say "V6" on back...

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.

thanks guys..!

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.
