See other engines in this family

Chevrolet LAP specs: 134 ci (2.2L) 4-cylinder, 3.386 x 3.724 in (86 x 94.6 mm) bore and stroke, 10:1 compression. Rated 155 hp, 2009–2010.

The Chevrolet Ecotec (LAP) is undersquare — the 3.7244" stroke exceeds the 3.3858" bore by 9.1% — a layout that trades peak RPM for leverage and torque low in the range. The 3.7244" stroke puts mean piston speed at 4,000 ft/min around 6,450 RPM, which is where a production bottom end is generally considered at its limit. Each of the 4 cylinders displaces 33.5 ci (549 cc).

10:1 on aluminum heads is in the range that usually runs on pump premium; aluminum sheds heat faster than iron, which makes the same number a little more forgiving.

It is one of 26 engines in the Ecotec family, sitting between the 61 ci and 150 ci members. 2 factory variants share these dimensions, rated at 155 hp across 2009–2010.
