The new engines range from the L-35 GB/E to the largest, the L-90 GB/E. The L-35 has a 350-mm cylinder bore and a stroke of 1,050 mm which apply for the first time a stroke-bore ratio of 3:1. The cylinder output ranges from 690 bhp at 200 rpm to 405 bhp at 163 rpm. Specific fuel oil consumption down to 129 g/bhph is guaranteed. The largest of the new engines is the L-90 GB/E which is based on the existing and well-proven GFCA design. The cylinder out- put ranges from 4,570 at 97 rpm to 2,740 bhp at 79 rpm.
