Are the number of pistons equal to number of number of cylinders?
I see. How does the configuration of pistons and cylinders affect the performance of the engine?
The configuration affects many aspects of engine performance, such as power output, fuel efficiency, and smoothness of operation. Generally, more cylinders mean more power and smoother operation, but also more fuel consumption. However, the overall design of the engine, including factors such as bore and stroke, also plays a significant role in performance.
