smallest ohv

[loki]

what is the smallest ever produced 4 cylinder OHV engine, not limited to just in the states?

[Sixty8panther]

Probably some 325cc motor in a boat made in France or something.

[Robert Hall]

Maybe something in the Japanese kei class 30 years ago.. or maybe a motorcycle engine?

fairly close w/ your cc guess

[Robert Hall]

Hmmm..maybe the Honda 356cc V4 engine in T360 truck (the Ridgeline is not the first Honda truck, by the way).

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:

is the payload rated at one sumo?

[Robert Hall]

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..

Nope... 0.475 Sumo to be exact.

another hint, it's an inline engine not a V

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.

Smallest 4 cylinder is a .36L 356cc engine in a 1963 Honda T360.

The above is a inline 4 cylinder.

[loki]

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

[thegriffon]

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.

Okay...related question:

What's the smallest four-cylinder in an American-built car since World War II?

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.
