No, displacement is calculated from bore and stroke.

I have two Sigtronics headsets that I installed the Headsets Inc kits in. I run them on ship's power. I like them pretty well. On trips when I might spend 6 to 10 hours in the airplane, I believe that I am less tired at the end of the day. One negative comment: My wife bought a Bose headset a couple...
