Liters or cubic inches when talking about engine size is this.......Bore(the diameter of the cylinder) x stroke (how far the piston travels up and down).
The combined volume (or displacement) of all the cylinders, measured with the piston at bottom dead center. This will tell you just how much fuel/air mix the engine can displace.

To put it in simple terms.....how much room there is in each cylinder, when the piston is at the bottom of its stroke....multiplied by how many cylinders there are.
