Chevrolet LN2 specs: 133 ci (2.2L) 4-cylinder, 3.50 x 3.46 in (88.9 x 87.9 mm) bore and stroke, 9:1 compression. Rated 110-120 hp, 1992–2002.
The Chevrolet 133ci (LN2) is close to square: 3.5" bore against 3.46" stroke, within 1.2%, which splits the difference between a high-revving layout and a torque layout. The 3.46" stroke puts mean piston speed at 4,000 ft/min around 6,950 RPM, which is where a production bottom end is generally considered at its limit. Each of the 4 cylinders displaces 33.3 ci (545 cc).
9:1 is low by modern standards and generally happy on regular pump fuel.
It is one of 2 engines in the Chevrolet 133ci family, all of them 133 ci — the differences between them are in compression, heads and rating, not displacement. 11 factory variants share these dimensions, rated from 110 to 120 hp across 1992–2002.
