Chevrolet LK0 specs: 152 ci (2.5L) 4-cylinder, 3.46 x 4.04 in (87.9 x 102.6 mm) bore and stroke. Rated 328 hp, 2024–2026. Used in the Chevrolet Traverse.
The Chevrolet 152ci (LK0) is undersquare — the 4.04" stroke exceeds the 3.46" bore by 14.4% — a layout that trades peak RPM for leverage and torque low in the range. The 4.04" stroke puts mean piston speed at 4,000 ft/min around 5,950 RPM, which is where a production bottom end is generally considered at its limit. Each of the 4 cylinders displaces 38.0 ci (623 cc).
It is one of 2 engines in the Chevrolet 152ci family, all of them 152 ci — the differences between them are in compression, heads and rating, not displacement. 3 factory variants share these dimensions, rated at 328 hp across 2024–2026.
