This is the place to ask questions about your engine components like cams, valves, pistons… just anything that is generally "engine" specific. This also includes questions about exhaust systems such as exhaust manifolds, piping size, mufflers, ect...

what i saw in the pick apart

Post by pyistazty » Wed Jul 22, 2009 4:07 am

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...

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).
