1G how to find engine displacement to verify stroker?

[Spector5]

I bought my talon back years ago, I was overseas and was not present for the buy back of the car.

Pretty much it was the exact talon I had owned back in high school(2006). Never really wanted to get rid of it, but I knew I just needed it back.

Supposedly the owner after me rebuilt the 2.0 I had blown up. He claims he rebuilt it to a 2.3l and did a bunch of other stuff. However, he had zero paper work other than for a new battery, and having some new shift bushings installed. (Just a little sketchy I know).

The past is the past, its mine again now.

Is there any way to verify if its still a 2.0 or 2.3l without dropping the pan or tearing down the engine completely?

Would really like to know, and need to know for tuning purposes.

Look for the part number on the top of the Pistons. Sometimes you can see through the spark plug hole. You may need a bore scope though.

Alright thanks!

I have a gut feeling it's just a basic stock rebuild. All the good after market parts I had on had been taken off and replaced with garbage homemade something's parts. Yikes!

Couldn't you just pull one of the plugs, stick something through it to the top of the piston, long enough to not fall in, and measure the change in length while turning the motor by hand from TDC to BDC? Difference is around 1/2 inch so you wouldn't need to be super accurate.

88mm vs 100mm. Easy to verify with a stick
