The cylinder head was also redesigned to keep the compression ratio at 8.8:1 even with the flat top pistons and now featured provisions for an air injection reaction system. This engine was used from 1995 to 2002. [2] Some 1992 through 1998 L24 cylinder heads developed cracks in the fifth camshaft journal, located closest to #4 cylinder.
The Mitsubishi Saturn or 4G3 engine is series of overhead camshaft (OHC) straight-four internal combustion engines introduced by Mitsubishi Motors and saw first service in the 1969 Colt Galant. Displacement ranges from 1.2 to 1.8 L (1,239 to 1,755 cc), although there was also a rare 2-litre (1,994 cc) inline-six version built from 1970 until 1976.
Any inline engine with an odd number of cylinders has a primary imbalance, which causes an end-to-end rocking motion. As each cylinder bank in a V6 has three cylinders, each cylinder bank experiences this motion. [8] Balance shaft(s) are used on various V6 engines to reduce this rocking motion.
The 2000 model year cars were designated LS-1 (4 cylinder) and LS-2 (6 cylinder.) Since Lincoln-Mercury owned the LS designator, and to prevent a lawsuit, Saturn changed the designators to L200 and L300 for the model years 2001–2005.
In North America, this engine replaced both the Quad-4 and the GM 122 engines and first appeared in the 2000 Saturn L-Series. [2] The L61 is a 2.2 L (2,198 cc) version with a lost-foam cast aluminium cylinder head and block; it features an 86 mm (3.4 in) bore and 94.6 mm (3.72 in) stroke [2] and either a 9.5:1 compression ratio or a 10.0:1. The ...
Under the hood, an acoustic engine cover was added to the engine bay to reduce noise emissions. The Level 2 and Level 3 models were offered with GM's new standard radio, featuring MP3 playback. 2006 saw the 170 hp (127 kW), 162 lb⋅ft (220 N⋅m) torque, 2.4 L straight-four engine with variable valve timing become available for the Ion 3. The ...
2000: In May 1999 for the 2000 model year, Saturn Corporation introduced the Saturn L-Series as a lineup of sedan and station wagon vehicle models – three sedan models and two station wagon models. The sedan L-Series models were the four-cylinder LS and LS1, and the six-cylinder LS2. The station wagons were the four-cylinder LW1 and the V6 ...
A straight-four engine (also referred to as an inline-four engine) is a four-cylinder piston engine where cylinders are arranged in a line along a common crankshaft. The majority of automotive four-cylinder engines use a straight-four layout [ 1 ] : pp. 13–16 (with the exceptions of the flat-four engines produced by Subaru and Porsche) [ 2 ...
