Chevrolet LNF specs: 122 ci (2.0L) 4-cylinder, 3.386 x 3.386 in (86 x 86 mm) bore and stroke, 9.2:1 compression. Rated 260 hp, 2008–2010.
The Chevrolet Ecotec (LNF) is exactly square — 3.3858" bore and 3.3858" stroke are the same — which splits the difference between a high-revving layout and a torque layout. The 3.3858" stroke does not reach 4,000 ft/min of mean piston speed until about 7,100 RPM, so piston speed is not what limits this engine's revs — valvetrain and breathing are. Each of the 4 cylinders displaces 30.5 ci (500 cc).
9.2:1 on aluminum heads is low by modern standards and generally happy on regular pump fuel.
It is one of 26 engines in the Ecotec family, sitting between the 61 ci and 150 ci members. 3 factory variants share these dimensions, rated at 260 hp across 2008–2010.
