GM Quad-4 Engine - 1995 LD2

1995 LD2

For 1995 only, a balance shaft-equipped version of the 2.3 L version was produced. A clever arrangement ensured a constant load on the shafts: the crank drove one shaft, which drives the second, which then drives the oil pump. The shafts spun at twice the engine rpm, forcing the redline to be reduced from 6800 to 6500 rpm. Output was 150 bhp (110 kW) and 150 lb·ft (200 N·m). This was the only Quad 4 produced in 1995.

This was known as a transitional year for the engine family.
