Sometimes we need to be intuitive and read behind the lines as to who is actually the most helpful and not the most literal. I just couldn't understand 'cylinder' in this context. Your suggestion "engine" really helped me to understand what the translation really meant - the overall power of the engine / perhaps in terms of horse-power or cubic capacity. Thanks.
