In the user CP details it asks how many pistons you have, running engines only, not in stock. I currently have 49 all running who has the most? Be honest, don't forget the lawn mower/snow blower etc.

Don't forget the one in your electric air compressor guys. Not an internal combustion engine but it is still a piston. That make me 43

Don't forget the piston in your CA compressor, or in your Fridge. And if have fish tanks, each air pump has a piston as well. Don't forget those portable electric compressors and those cpap machines. :)

I had to go back and look, I show 50 right now, but I have added some since then so I got to do a recount. BTW I only count running gas motors electric don't count and RC remote engines don't count even if they are gas or I could be counting all night. I was buying some tires the other day and the guy said which vehicle are they for this time, I laughed because I can count 55 tires that are mounted and rolling on my vehicles that are running right now, and this is only tires that are 14" or bigger, not lawn mowers and stuff like that just big tires. I do all my work myself on vehicles, boats etc. so I stay busy.

Scott, I counted 48 but have to admit that six of them are a '51 flathead motor that doesn't run.

I counted my ice fishing auger though. 46 cc's of ice-ripping speed & terror right there.

With 48 plugs, maybe I buy Sta-Bil like a wino buys Thunderbird....
