[edit] 4 Cylinder
[edit] 425 OHV
2.5 L (2499 cc) I4, with two (pushrod-actuated) valves-per-cylinder and indirect fuel injection.
Applications:
- 1990–1999 Rover 800 (power: 118 bhp, latterly 120 bhp; torque: 197 ft•lbf)
- 1992–2000 Chrysler Voyager (power: 114 hp (85 kW); torque: 193 ft•lbf (262 N m))
- 1994–2001 Jeep Cherokee (power: 118 hp (88 kW) @ 4000 rpm; torque: 221 ft•lbf (300 N m) @ 2000 rpm)
- 1995–1998 Jeep Grand Cherokee (power: 114 hp (85 kW); torque: 221 ft•lbf (300 N m))
- 1996–2000 GAZ GAZelle (power: 101 hp (75 kW); torque: 171 ft•lbf (232 N m))
- 1997–2000 UAZ 3160 (power: 101 hp (75 kW); torque: 171 ft•lbf (232 N m))
- 1999–2000 Dodge Dakota (power: 114 hp (85 kW); torque: 221 ft•lbf (300 N m))
This engine was also used in some early Toyota Landcruisers & hilux, and Opel Fronteras. It received bad press during the late 1990s for problems with the timing chain, which often broke with catastrophic consequences.[citation needed] This was improved from 1998 with a double chain design. Also had problems with corrosion in the 4 individual cylinder heads, which was not solved until model change in 2000. Temperature problems were also observed, taking into account that this motor was designed to be a marine motor, so the Cherokee TD suffers from overheating and some individual cylinder head can break.[citation needed]
The 425 OHV used in Chrysler Voyager 1991 - 2000 only 1996 and 1997 was with chain. Double chain was made later to solve problem with the 96 - 97 models, but without any luck.
Between 1997 and 2001 this engine was manufactured at Detroit Diesel Motores do Brasil in Curitiba, Parana, Brazil. The plant was eventually sold to Perkins after the Dodge Dakota stopped production locally.
