Dodge Mitsubishi 2.0 SOHC four specs: 122 ci (2.0L) 4-cylinder, 3.346 x 3.465 in (85 x 88 mm) bore and stroke, 8.5:1 compression. Built 1979–1986.
The Dodge Mitsubishi 2.0 SOHC four is close to square: 3.3465" bore against 3.4646" stroke, within 3.4%, which splits the difference between a high-revving layout and a torque layout. The 3.4646" 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 30.5 ci (500 cc).
8.5:1 is low by modern standards and generally happy on regular pump fuel.
It is one of 7 engines in the Dodge 122ci family, all of them 122 ci — the differences between them are in compression, heads and rating, not displacement. 8 factory variants share these dimensions across 1979–1986.
