12 valve

sup, i was reading one of my old supa streets and i was reading about an old mugen crx. when i was reading about the engine that they built for it and i saw that it had 12 valves. im pretty sure it was a 4 cylinder or else i dont know how the f*** they fit that thing in there. So can someone enhance me w/ their knowledge and tell me how u can have 12 valves ona 4 cylinder. thanks

you think that's a lot of valves? cuz the b series motors have 16

there are some 3 valve engines out there... not a lot but some

Some cars also have 2 valves, and I'm fairly sure there is a european import (dont know who) that has 5.

no i was just telling him that there are cars with more valves. the way he said it made it seem like he thought that 3 valves per cylinder was a lot but it's not. so shut your pie hole. mrlame

actually he never said he thought 12 valves were "a lot" he probably just thought that it was odd to have 3 valves per cylinder instead of 2 or 4

ya, i was tryin to ask if it was like 2 intake and one exhaust or 2 exhaust and 1 intake. but ya i wasnt sayin that 12 valves is a lot.payce

I really couldn't tell you for sure but I believe it would be 1 intake and 2 exhaust valves. i am basing this off the fact that the hot burnt exhaust gasses expand compared to how they came into the cylinder... hotter molecules move faster and spread out more and all that other technical jargon... blah

the new mustangs have 3 valves but tahts v-8.
