Tryin to figure out how many valves a 1992 vx has. 16 or 8?
'92 Civics had single overhead cams (SOHC), so they have 8 valves. 1 intake valve and 1 exhaust valve per cylinder, so since there are 4 cylinders, that makes 8. Vehicles with dual overhead cams (DOHC) had 16, but Hondas had SOHC cams at that time. I'm really surprised how many people are saying 16. That is incorrect. I am positive. You cannot have 4 valves per cylinder (total of 16 valves) on a motor that has a single overhead cam.
it has 16 valves but less horse power than a regular Civic. This was designed to be a fuel economical model - a 'hybrid' equivilent in the early 90's
