General Difference 8V and 16V

[diablo_NL]

Ok, I'm a real noob if it comes to engines. If I would be standing in front of a Grande Punto 1.4 xxV looking at the engine, how would I be able to tell if it's a 8V or a 16V? Pictures are welcome!

Thanks!

There will be 8 more valves on the 16v

I thought the 1.4 16v is gonna be in the sporting over here? If so itll have the same kit on it

No here you have the Dynamic 1.4 8V and 1.4 16V. I know it has 8 more valves but how can I see that?

well an 8v engine is narrower on top and the spark plugs will be on one side of the engine.the 16v will be wider at the top with the spak plugs in the middle.

what are you worried your dealer going to try and short change you on valves?

Just want to make sure they are not selling me a 8V with a 16V sticker on the rear.

well when you get the car.take the head off and count the valves.
