Engine: Description and Operation






DESCRIPTION

The 2.0 Liter (122 cu. in.) in-line four cylinder engine is a double over head camshaft with mechanical lash buckets and four valves per cylinder design. This engine is NOT free-wheeling; meaning that the pistons will contact the valves in the event of a timing chain failure.

The cylinders are numbered from front of the engine to the rear. The firing order is 1-3-4-2.

The engine serial number is located on the rear of the cylinder block. The serial number contains engine build date information.
