the first number (1) is the number of cylinders.
second letter
) is the layout:
blank=vertical
V= v-type
P=horizontal
third letter (E), operation:
blank=4 stroke
E=2 stroke
next 2 numbers (40) bore size in MM.
next letter (Q) cooling:
blank=water
F=natural air
Q=forced air
Y=oil
next letter (M) engine use:
M=motorcycle
A=automobile
next letter (B) engine size:
A<50, B=50, C=60, D=70, E=80, F=
, G=100, H=110, I=125, J=150, K=175, L=200
M=250, N=300, P=350, Q=400, R=500, S=600, T=650, U=700, V=750, W=800
X=900, Y=1000, YG=1100, YL>1200
now someone says they have a 172MM engine.
1 is the cylinders, there is no layout, operation, or cooling codes, 72 is bore size.
the 172MM engine is the vertical, water cooled, 4 stroke, honda 244cc
