how many cylinders I have. 
'86 Pontiac STE, daily driver................6
'99 GMC, wife's transport, tow truck, etc....8
'58 chevy Cameo under restoration since '80..8
'86 Ford Ranger, shop truck..................4
401 cu. in. Buick in a flat bottom Ski Boat..8
Johnson 40 HP & 7 HP on Kayot Patio Boat......4 (2 each)
Race Car 2 engines...........................16
lawn mower....................................1
leaf blower...................................1
Troybilt rototiller ..........................1
    "   mini tiller...........................1

them sometimes.
