[edit]

There is at least one issue with the opening paragraph, possibly two. The first line, on the surface, seems at least adequate. The second, however, is at best ambiguous and at worst factually incorrect. " ... This is a list of automobile engines created by Suzuki. Suzuki is unusual in never having made an OHV automobile engine, having depended on two-strokes for longer than most. By a considerable margin, they were the last Japanese manufacturer to offer a two-stroke engine in an automotive application. ..."

Suzuki began selling cars made with it's in-house developed 4-stroke engine in 1977 ... about 35 years ago. I don't see how that can be consistent with the Wikipedia entry of "never having made" a 4-stroke engine.

Secondlly the origin of the text is suspect ... a search of the above quoted text ... indeed the whole article ... appears elsewhere on the web, One wonders which came first and if the awkward language is a result of simple copy-and-paste; it seems highly unlikely that such poor construction would be originally created in two places.

Finally it should be made more clear that the article is referring to automobile engines; Suzuki motorcycle engines are not mentioned in any detail.

Perhaps worth exploring in future edits, assuming it's correct about Suzuki's reliance on two-stroke engines also pertains to motorcycles, it raises the question as to whether the late entry into 4-strokes allowed a competitive advantage, since the 4-stroke bikes were extremely competitive right from the late 1970's at least, and remain amongst the preferred choices for drag racing motorcycles today. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 142.165.85.136 (talk) 13:03, 21 November 2011 (UTC)[reply]

The quote above begins with "this is a list of automobile engines". Secondly, it is never stated that Suzuki never built a four-stroke, it says they never built an OHV engine. They have built OHC and DOHC four-strokes, but never any pushrod ones. That other mirror sites copy the text written here is not unique. I'm sorry you find the language awkward, but I recommend reading a bit more carefully in the future. And please feel free to create an article for Suzuki's motorcycle engines, then we could rename this one appropriately as well.  Mr.choppers | ✎  21:31, 21 October 2012 (UTC)[reply]

New pages

[edit]

How about we create new pages for F and K engine like G and M engine? I think the materials are enough for that. Haysnawri10 (talk) 03:37, 23 August 2020 (UTC)[reply]

It was deleted by User:MarioGom back in 2022. https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Suzuki_J_engine&action=history
I think it should be reinstated; please add some references here and I will be happy to help. See WP:RS first. Best,  Mr.choppers | ✎  20:52, 5 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]
I requested to have the draft restored to Draft:Suzuki J engine, hopefully we can find enough material to protect it this time around.  Mr.choppers | ✎  20:55, 5 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]
