2.4.4.1.   Engine with a swept volume per cylinder ≥ 750 cm 3

In order for engines with a swept volume per cylinder of ≥ 750 cm 3 to be considered to belong to the same engine family, the spread of their swept volume per cylinder shall not exceed 15 per cent of the largest swept volume per cylinder within the engine family.

2.4.4.2.   Engine with a swept volume per cylinder < 750 cm 3

In order for engines with an individual cylinder swept volume of < 750 cm 3 to be considered to belong to the same engine family, the spread of their swept volume per cylinder shall not exceed 30 per cent of the largest swept volume per cylinder within the engine family.
