No, you got it all wrong, it's 13961.8 CC's... Or 1163.48 CC's per cylinder, but if you round it out then you derive 1163.5 CC's per cylinder or 71.0011 CI's for the engine....and if you round that up like GM does then it's 72 CI's per and 1179.87 CC's and that rounded gives you............. and on and on and on and on and on and on an on.....





Sorry....

SSE = SubSea Engineer, but I suck at math... well I was good at it until they put letters in it....Fortunately for me, my job requires very little math...Lots of hydraulics and mechanical skills...but I can write, until they put numbers in it, then all bets are off...

Skillz... i believe you got skillz!

Numberz... to some, all existence can be formulated into numberz. (I just want the winning lotto numbers!)

...

And back on-topic... that's a Crazy Beast that looks like it would blow your eyebrows off if you stood too close to the engine while its running.

I'm with ya. What kind of answer is

pi*[(-r*3a*x^2)/(4t-s)]^1/2

Shouldn't the answer just be something like, I dunno ... 8? Of course not, it has to be an equation with 5 variables
