Isuzu G200ZE specs: 1.9L (116 ci) 4-cylinder, 87 x 82 mm (3.4252 x 3.2283 in) bore and stroke, 9.2:1 compression. Rated 90 hp, 1983–1987.
The Isuzu G200ZE is oversquare — the 3.4252" bore exceeds the 3.2283" stroke by 6.1% — a layout that favors airflow and RPM over leverage at the crank. The 3.2283" stroke does not reach 4,000 ft/min of mean piston speed until about 7,450 RPM, so piston speed is not what limits this engine's revs — valvetrain and breathing are. Each of the 4 cylinders displaces 29.0 ci (475 cc).
9.2:1 is low by modern standards and generally happy on regular pump fuel.
It is one of 2 engines in the Isuzu 116ci family, all of them 116 ci — the differences between them are in compression, heads and rating, not displacement. 5 factory variants share these dimensions, rated at 90 hp across 1983–1987.
