Toyota 2C-TL specs: 2.0L (120 ci) 4-cylinder, 86 x 85 mm (3.3858 x 3.3465 in) bore and stroke, 22.5:1 compression. Built 1986. Used in the Toyota Camry.

The Toyota 2C-TL is close to square: 3.3858" bore against 3.3465" stroke, within 1.2%, which splits the difference between a high-revving layout and a torque layout. The 3.3465" stroke does not reach 4,000 ft/min of mean piston speed until about 7,150 RPM, so piston speed is not what limits this engine's revs — valvetrain and breathing are. Each of the 4 cylinders displaces 30.0 ci (492 cc).

At 22.5:1 this is a compression-ignition engine: the ratio is the heat source that lights the fuel, not a knock limit to be managed.

What these numbers mean

Bore/stroke character1.012 — square — bore and stroke are within 5%, a balanced compromise
Mean piston speed at 6,000 RPM3,347 ft/min — conservative for a street engine
Displacement per cylinder30.0 ci
Static compression22.5:1 — high enough that pump premium or better is normally required
