Total cylinder displacement is critical in determining available power in an aircraft engine. It is also critical that all cylinders have equal displacement for smooth power delivery and engine reliability. When cylinders are originally manufactured, the aluminum head of the cylinder is cast in a mold, and irregularities in cylinder displacement can become evident from one cylinder to another.

As cylinder displacements vary, an engine will have different compression ratios from one cylinder to the next, a condition that can cause varying independent cylinder fuel consumption, operating temperatures and unequal stress on the engine which, in turn, can impact on reliability and power output. "Power By Victor"™ technicians measure the original new cylinder's theoretical compression levels by fluid-filling the cylinders to determine the fluid capacity levels and performs a simulated piston displacement test.

After testing the cylinders, we match them for equal theoretical combustion balance prior to installation. This process insures improved total power delivery, acceleration and maximum engine reliability.
