The Chevrolet Inline-4 was one of Chevrolet's first automobile engines, designed by Arthur Mason and introduced in 1913, and it was built until 1928 when the Stovebolt six replaced it. Founder Billy Durant, who had earlier owned Buick, applied Buick's valve-in-head layout with exposed pushrods and rocker arms operating the valves in a detachable crossflow head, a design that drew publicity when most rivals used flatheads. The main version was the 171 cubic inch (2.80 litre) engine with splash lubrication, rated at 24 to 35 horsepower in the Series H, 490, Superior, Capitol and National cars, and a larger 224 cubic inch (3.67 litre) version of 37 horsepower served only in the Series FA and FB. Chevrolet used no other four-cylinder engine until the 153 of 1961.
