What is the visible differance between the single and dual cam neon motors? I was talking to someone on the street who said they had a dohc motor but it looked just like my single cam neon. any differance between the two (other than the performance).

 

the horsepower and how fast your cam gears are spinning the3 gear/s are located right on the left off the moter

 

It's HIGHLY doubtful that it was a DOHC, if it was a 2nd gen Neon.

 

You mean that the second gen. cars dont have dohc? I always thought some of them had that. I lost a race with another second gen neon when I first go my car(mine is an 03 with 75k, his was an 05 with less than 10k). I was sure he had a dohc motor cause his was an SXT. Is this wrong?

Yup, its wrong. 2nd Gen DOHC is the srt-4. Thats about it, unless its swapped.

 

the SRT4 has a DOHC 2.4.. also SXTs didnt even come with the Magnum motor, which came in the R/T and ACR models, so basically i think the guy just didnt know what egine he has.

 

My 01 Magnum is a SOHC. Maybe he used to own a Honda. They seem to have a problem identifying SOHC and DOHC motors too.... (D16Y8 SOHC, B18B-DOHC, etc..)

 

no i dont normally have a problem telling the difference between the 2. i was just asking in the off chance that there really wasn't a physical way to tell them apart.

 

My 02 se has a 2.0 16 valve and yoursaying thats a single cam. It might be a single cam. I'm new to the whole dodge thing. VW list 8 valve motors has single cam and 16 valve as dual.
