Chevrolet LNJ specs: 204 ci (3.4L) 6-cylinder, 3.622 x 3.307 in (92 x 84 mm) bore and stroke. Rated 185 hp, 2005–2009. Used in the Chevrolet Equinox. OHV.
The Chevrolet 207ci (LNJ) is oversquare — the 3.622" bore exceeds the 3.3071" stroke by 9.5% — a layout that favors airflow and RPM over leverage at the crank. The 3.3071" stroke does not reach 4,000 ft/min of mean piston speed until about 7,250 RPM, so piston speed is not what limits this engine's revs — valvetrain and breathing are. Each of the 6 cylinders displaces 34.0 ci (557 cc).
It is one of 6 engines in the Chevrolet 207ci family, the smallest at 204 ci. 5 factory variants share these dimensions, rated at 185 hp across 2005–2009.
