Default Compression ratio and displacement

Okay guys, I'm new to the forums and I have a couple of noob questions I guess you could say. I've done lots of research on the 2(displacement and CR) and need help.

So we have a 3.7L engine (370z guys/gals) and our compression ratio is 11:1 which means at BDC(bottoms dead center) to TDC( top dead center) the piston will compress 1100cc units of air/fuel mixture into 100cc. So if it can take in 1100cc of air/fuel into the chamber wouldn't that mean the displacement of 1 cylinder would equal 1.1 liters (1100cc to liters conversion is 1.1L)
So if 1 cylinder equals 1.1L multiplied by 6 (6 cylinders) that would be well over a 3.7L.

Someone help!!!
