CC's (cubic centimeters) or Cu.In. (in3) (Cubic Inches) of displacement =
The amount of VOLUME in the cylinders, from the top of the piston to the bottom of the cylinder head, when the piston is at it's lowest point allowed by the crankshaft.
The "cubes" are the total volume of ALL of the engine's cylinders. For example, a Chevy 350 (5.7L) has 350 cubic inches of cylinder displacement including all 8 cylinders. So, divided by 8, each cylinder would be 43.75in3.
The easiest way to measure would be to just look it up in the engine's service manual specifications. OR, if for some reason you needed to measure the engine's actual cylinder displacement in real life, you could use oil or water (I'd recommend using oil) dump it into the cylinder through either the spark plug hole or the injector hole and measure it. (Be sure the piston is all the way down and that both the intake and exhaust valves are closed when you do that test!)

What is cubic capacity?
The cubic capacity is a measure of engine size. Cubic capacity is the total volume of the engine cylinders taken by piston movement (piston stroke). Apart from performance, it is one of the parameters of a combustion engine. it is the size of your engine block. for ex. a 305 has three hundred and five cubic all together.
What is the cubic capacity of a 2.4 liter engine?
A 2.4 liter engine has a displacement of 146.457 cubic inches or 2400cc
What is cubic capacity of ford Triton V8 engine?
The 5.4 liter is 330 cubic inches
How do you count engine capacity?
Engine capacity is measured in cubic inches, cubic centimeters or liters; a common Ford V8 (eight cylinder) engine is a 302. Three hundred cubic inches or 5 liters. Capacity is measured by the amount (volume) of air in the cylinder it displaces. Here is the link, http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Engine_displacement
What does CC in an engine Capacity stand for?
CC- cubic centimeters, used mainly to measure oil capacity and engine size. Like CI (cubic inches) is used to measure the size of bigger engines.
What does CC related to Vehicle means?
centimetre cube CC (cubic centimeter) is refered to the cylinder capacity of the engine. For example, if you say 500cc engine, then the sum total capacity of the cylinders will be 500 cubic centimeter
What is cubic capacity of engine in car?
It is the volume that the piston swipes in one stroke inside the engine cylinder.
How big is a block?
Blocks are in many sizes according to the cubic capacity of engine
What is the Cubic Meter of Mercedez Benz A - 190?
If you mean engine capacity it is 1898cc.
What is engine capacity in liters?
There are roughly ( 61 cubic inches per litre )
What objects are given in cubic units?
The cylinder capacity of a car engine - is usually given in cubic centimetres (abbreviated to cc)
What is meaning of 1.6LT in cars and vehicles?
1.6Ltr is the cubic capacity in cubic centimetres of the engine The measurement of capacity of a single cylinder is made up of the space in the bore and combustion chamber. If a single cylinder has a volume of 400cc (cubic Centimetres) and the engine has 4 cylinders, the total capacity would be 1600cc or 1.6Ltrs. (I litre = 1000 c.c.)
