Love this discussion!

What's the relationship between more smaller cylinders, and fewer bigger cylinders with the same total displacement, and FE? Would the larger cylinders typically be better due to reduced friction?
Hey Ecky,

I took an 1800 cc engine, at 9.5 to 1, at 7200 rpm. It came back with 137 horsepower, which is about what I would expect from a B18 at full chat.

Which Honda engine do you have?
