Suzuki F engine
The Suzuki F engine is a series of inline three- and four-cylinder internal combustion petrol engines manufactured by Suzuki Motor Corporation and also licensed by many manufacturers for their automobiles. This engine was Suzuki's first four-stroke car engine when it first appeared in 1977.[1][2]

Successor | Suzuki K engine |
The Suzuki F10D engine is an inline four-cylinder 1.1 L; 64.7 cu in (1,061 cc) engine that was developed in India by Maruti Suzuki for the domestic market. It was debuted in the Maruti Wagon-R in India in 2001. It was briefly installed in Maruti Alto and it was the engine that the first Maruti Zen Estilo came with. This engine is very similar to the three-cylinder F8D 12-valve engine that was optional on the Maruti 800 at the time. The bore and stroke of F10D is the same as that of the smaller sibling and shares quite a few parts like pistons, rings, connecting rods, and valves. The cast-iron engine block is very similar to that of the older 1.0 L (970 cc) F10A engine that powered the earlier Maruti Gypsy and Maruti 1000. Both F10A and F10D shares the same stroke length; but interchangeability of parts between these two engines is limited, and in some cases unknown, with current findings listed below:
Likeness:
F10A/F10D transmission bellhousing bolt patterns and diameters are the same, and it is possible to swap transmissions between A and D engines.
F10A/F10D both have the same engine mounting points threaded into the side of the engine block.
F10A/F10D have identical oil filter mounting points, the extended oil filter housing from the D can be fitted to the A, or the oil filter spigot from the A fitted to the D
F10A/F10D share the same oil pickup tube mounting point, bolt spacing and diameter
Differences:
F10A intake and exhaust manifolds will not fit the F10D engine (or vice versa) due to difference in the cylinder head bolt patterns and port spacing.
F10A oil dipstick tube is located in the centre of the block on the right-hand side, the F10Ds is front mounted on the right hand side with no port drilling in the centre of the block.
The F10D got a contemporary SOHC alloy cylinder head with 4 valves per cylinder and MPFI.[15] The earlier engines made 62 bhp (46.2 kW) and the late model 32-bit ECU raised it to 64 bhp (47.7 kW). It is very respectable performance for naturally aspirated 1.1 L engine. Maruti re-engineered and optimized the F10D after a few years of its introduction. This "low friction engine" as it was called has a revised engine block, lighter crank and revised oil pump.
Maruti announced in September 2009 that the F10D would not meet upcoming Euro 4 emissions norms and was to be phased out in 2010. It was replaced by the new 3- and 4-cylinder K-series engines.

Notes
- Turbocharged: 8.0 to 9.2, naturally aspirated: 8.7 to 11.0
- 550-660 cc: 7500 to 9000 rpm, 800-1100 cc: 6500 to 7000 rpm.
- International version of SJ410 Jimny was discontinued in late 1980s, but both Indonesian built Jimny (including Katana, a cheaper 4x2 version of Jimny, introduced in 1989) and Pakistani built Jimny (Potohar) were produced for local market at least until 2006.
- Indonesia, Myanmar and Vietnam continued producing Suzuki Carry with F10A engine in the 2000s. After of the discontinuation of Indonesian built ST100 Carry 1.0i in 2009, as of December 2020, Vietnam and Myanmar still producing SK410 Carry with F10A engine.
