I love my Bentley because it lets me post useful information despite not
having the experience to post a step-by-step muffler bearing replacement
procedure.

The 4000Q's 2.22 l engine, code JT, had 115 bhp (88.8 kW) @ 5500 rpm
and 126 ft-lb (170 Nm) @ 3000 rpm.  Fitted to the FWD 4000 or Coupe GT,
it lost 5 bhp and 5 ft-lb, and had engine code KX.  Rumor has it that
the difference is due only to a more restrictive exhaust.

In 1984 only, there was apparently a WE-code engine with 2.20 l and 100
bhp in the US, 110 bhp in Canada; this may just be the Ur-Q engine without
a turbo, but I'm guessing.  Bentley also claims the 1.8 l was imported.

The same page also claims there was a 4000 "2-door sedan" (distinct from
the CGT or TQC).  Weird.

While I'm at it, there are 34 ounces of R-12.
