Question:-
[h=1]In term of engine capacity,what does cc (eg 1.3cc,1.5cc) stand for?Can anyone tell me a simpler explanation?[/h]
Answer:-
Imagine a bottle. When you fill it up,it occupies the space in it. Similarly the cc is the capacity of the cylinder if it is filled up with water. The total for the four, six or eight cylinders in a car engine gives you the figures that matter. If a car engine is 1.6lt or 1600c.c it means the total for the four cylinders of the engine. (normally, a 1.6lt engine has four cylinders).
lt (el-tee) is short for liter which is the same as 1000c.c.
