Honda 122ci specs: 2.0L (122 ci) 4-cylinder, 86 x 86 mm (3.3860 x 3.3860 in) bore and stroke, 11:1 compression. Rated 197 hp, 2006–2007.
The Honda 122ci is exactly square — 3.386" bore and 3.386" stroke are the same — which splits the difference between a high-revving layout and a torque layout. The 3.386" 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. A rod ratio of 1.696 is in the range most production engines fall in. Each of the 4 cylinders displaces 30.5 ci (500 cc).
11:1 is high enough that pump premium or better is normally required.
It is one of 2 engines in the Honda 122ci family, all of them 122 ci — the differences between them are in compression, heads and rating, not displacement. 2 factory variants share these dimensions, rated at 197 hp across 2006–2007.
