That's the right way to go, regardless of version.

It's bad enough having to pull the displacement out of the model number, but
when sometimes the number isn't really the displacement, what do you do? Well,
if you could extend the rules to cover the exceptions, you could extend the CASE
statement in my previous message to work, but this is really all the more reason
to put displacement in its own column.

I think it's the only good solution.
