Again, thats the 88 HP SOHC.

Good news, BP pluigs right in.

Do you know that DOHC stands for Dual Overhead Cam? you can have a DOHC I4 with 8 valves.... 16 doesn't mean DOHC.

It's got one actual cam, but 2 rocker shafts (the pieces that actually open the valves), so that's probably what you saw.

And yeah, it's got a surprising amount of pull for 88HP... i still beat most off the line when I want to
