Hi,

it's a 12 Valve Cylinder head on the engine,
common at the time - but now lots of engines are 16 Valve,

some lower specification ones are still 8 Valve of course

Re: 12v?

first time i seen the 12v head actually.. I never really thought about how they work before. I presume they have 2 inlet and 1 exhaust valve per cylinder?

Re: 12v?
