About: Daihatsu H-series engine

The Daihatsu H-series engine is a range of four-stroke four-cylinder, internal combustion piston engines, designed by Daihatsu, which is a subsidiary of Toyota. These engines were produced from 1987 through 2009. Ranging from 1.3 L up to 1.6 L, these four-cylinder engines were built with lightness in mind, featuring a hollow crankshaft and camshaft, and the weight of a four-cylinder engine (1.3 L HC) is similar to the 1.0 L three-cylinder CB engines. The H-series engine has aluminium engine blocks and cylinder heads, timing belt driven heads, water-cooled engine cooling system, equipped with both carburetors (earlier models) and Multi-Point Fuel Injection (later models) and only available in 16-valve SOHC design.
