The AJ6 engine came in 4 engine capacities from 2.9L to 4.0L. All used the same 91mm bore size with the capacity change being by using crankshafts of different strokes from 74.8mm to 102mm.

Given the size of the difference between the shortest stroke and the longest stroke, I was wondering if they used more than one height of cylinder block or if they all used the same?

I guess that the top of the AJ16 in my 3.2 X300 touches the underside sound deadening material of the bonnet in that the coloured lettering has slowly warn off over the years. So I guess it is the same height as the larger, longer stroke version.
The wiki says the same block is used.
