I know the 4cyl has 16 valves and the 6 cyl has 130hp but i've read in a manuel that there is a 8 valve 4 cyl.What would be the difference in sohc and dohc in a 4 cyl 16 valve mx3 in hp or speed???.

Guys, slow down... there are two different engines which were used in the MX-3: A- SOHC=8valves=88hp & B- DOHC=16valves=105hp ; the V-6 is 24valves=130hp[in it's stock set-up]. I hope this clears any doubts...if not-ask Jarid!HEHEHE!!! Manny
