Isuzu GH engine

Automotive Engines

The Isuzu GH engine was the company's first petrol engine, a license-built version of the Hillman unit used in the Hillman Minx that Isuzu assembled locally from 1953. The first version, the GH10, had a 65 mm bore and 95 mm stroke for a displacement of 1,260 cc. In 1955 it was updated to the GH12, a square design with a 76.2 mm bore and stroke displacing 1,390 cc. A 1956 revision gave 46 PS rather than the original 43 PS and was renamed GH100, and in 1958 power rose again to 50 PS. The GH is the earliest entry in the list of Isuzu engines.
