A Anonymous Guest Sep 25, 2004 #2 Twin cam as the name suggests, has two camshafts.... Basically it uses one cam for the inlet valves and one for the exhaust valves... It's a good thing, why do you ask? Daz

A Anonymous Guest Sep 25, 2004 #4 You are correct they are both twin cam, the 115 and the 155 are both DOHC (Double Over Head Cam), but the 155 has VVT (Variable Valve Timing)...which in theory improves things moreso... Daz

T thomas Guest Sep 25, 2004 #5 having two cams isnt necessarily better than having one. low end torque is none existent in these type of vehicles.

A alex Guest Sep 26, 2004 #10 Got a new one, all new service bits too.. it was poorley looked after with the previous owner
T Tom Guest Sep 26, 2004 #11 Lots of short runs is also a cause of that, not the worlds best design...
L LightWarrior Guest Sep 28, 2004 #12 its an old design compared to the other bravo's isn't it? I heard it was the same engine as the older Tipo's. Tom, would being worn make a ticker,ticker,ticker noise?
