CoastGuardZ Posted January 6, 2003 Share #4 Posted January 6, 2003 4 valves is 2 cams though. I was under the impression the 2 was for the dual outlet exhaust that was indigenous to the Z432.Not trying to say your wrong by any means, ben, but just didn't make a whole lotta sense to me. Then again it doesn't have to, either. If thats what Nissan wants, thats what Nissan gets!Nate:cross-eye Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ben Posted January 7, 2003 Share #5 Posted January 7, 2003 A valid point, but not necessarily true - take the Toyota twin-cam motors from the same era (eg the 2T family) - they were only 2 valves per cylinder.Also, don't forget that the Japanes culture (mixed with the American influence) contrived some quite wierd conventions.
