if you guys haven't seen my other posts, i'm a newb on engines...

when i went to the junkyard, i saw a neon engine, and the valve cover had been taken off, and there were 2 cams attached to the head...(i don't remember if it was a 1gn or 2gn) ANYWAYS...

does the two cam thing means its a DOHC head and i should look into taking it for personal gain...or am i a dumbass and all our engiens have 2 cams, just the DOHC and SOHC have something elese different about them...

(fail poster is fail btw)
i don't know shyte!

Double = 2 and Single = 1 if that helps :P Beyond that, I don't know if you'd want it or not, lol.

2 cams means it's a 1gn DOHC. You would need a stand alone EMS or a MS system to run a DOHC in your 2gn. Not worth the hassle and expense, unless you're doing a 2.4, if not a 2.4 turbo (SRT4 swap).

yea i know 2 = double and 1 = single, but for all i knew it could have meant something else, weirder things have happened.
