 From the Quantum Mechanics web site:

http://www.quantumechanics.com/categories.php?op=newindex&catid=17

1st = 2.83, 2nd = 1.81, 3rd = 1.26, 4th = 1.0, and 5th = .825
or
1st = 3.65, 2nd = 1.97, 3rd = 1.37, 4th = 1.0, and 5th = .82

The second one is 4 cylinder standard, so I'd guess it's the most 
likely. I think reverse is the 4.11
