August 29, 200619 yr what is the smallest ever produced 4 cylinder OHV engine, not limited to just in the states?
August 29, 200619 yr Maybe something in the Japanese kei class 30 years ago.. or maybe a motorcycle engine?
August 29, 200619 yr Author Maybe something in the Japanese kei class 30 years ago.. or maybe a motorcycle engine? 186542[/snapback] closest w/ your first guess.... tis wouldn't be easy unless you know where to look
August 29, 200619 yr Author Probably some 325cc motor in a boat made in France or something. 186535[/snapback] fairly close w/ your cc guess
August 29, 200619 yr Hmmm..maybe the Honda 356cc V4 engine in T360 truck (the Ridgeline is not the first Honda truck, by the way).
August 29, 200619 yr Hmmm..maybe the Honda 356cc V4 engine in T360 truck (the Ridgeline is not the first Honda truck, by the way). 186552[/snapback] Yes... if by "truck" you mean a Vespa Scooter with a Radio Wagon duct taped to the rear of it. Or one of these hilarions clown cars:
August 30, 200619 yr Author Yes... if by "truck" you mean a Vespa Scooter with a Radio Wagon duct taped to the rear of it. Or one of these hilarions clown cars: 186569[/snapback] is the payload rated at one sumo?
August 30, 200619 yr It's a sub-subcompact truck. Diahatsu makes tiny trucks like that today, I've seen them on college campuses as facilities maintainance vehicles..they drive 'em on the sidewalks..
August 30, 200619 yr is the payload rated at one sumo? 186612[/snapback] Nope... 0.475 Sumo to be exact.
August 30, 200619 yr Author another hint, it's an inline engine not a V Edited August 30, 200619 yr by loki
August 30, 200619 yr I don't know about ever, but the smallest OHV (and OHC) 4-cylinder engine in current production for automobiles is Subaru's EN07 at 658 cc, produced in several variants in 8V, 16V, supercharged and one with VVT. Mitsubushi is the only other company currently producing 4-cylinder engines in this class (limited to 660 cc) with the 659 cc 4A30. Suzuki, Daihatsu, Honda and Mitsubishi's latest Kei-class engines are all 3-cylinder.

August 31, 200619 yr Smallest 4 cylinder is a .36L 356cc engine in a 1963 Honda T360. 187121[/snapback] The above is a inline 4 cylinder.
August 31, 200619 yr Author WS61400, but it's not an OHV engine...is it? another hint, maybe... the company that produced this engine, made their first 4 wheel car in 1960, and is an "asian" brand
August 31, 200619 yr The Honda T360 engine was DOHC, and not the smallest Honda produced. The later Vamos had a slightly smaller 354 cc engine. loki is thinking of the 358 cc engine in the Mazda P360. Edited August 31, 200619 yr by thegriffon

August 31, 200619 yr Okay...related question: What's the smallest four-cylinder in an American-built car since World War II?
August 31, 200619 yr Okay...related question: What's the smallest four-cylinder in an American-built car since World War II? 187378[/snapback] I would say the engine in the Chevette/T-1000 which was 96 ci I think.
August 31, 200619 yr I would say the engine in the Chevette/T-1000 which was 96 ci I think.The Chevette also had a 1.4L at one time...but even that's too big.
