RE: how do you know your neon is DOHC or SOHC
look at the left side of the engine, should be a big black cover over the timing gear. If it looks like OO at the topits DOHC if it lookes likeO its SOHC. Also most SOHC have a stamped valve cover(VC)thatsays 2.0 16 valve on it, and most DOHCVCs are castand dont have any writing on em.

not all are labeled, and sincemost people dont know what to look for on the VC. i would saythe best way to find out is just to look where the cam gear or gears are.

notice this is a DOHC VC without a label. Because the warm air intake reduces performance so much dodge made a peice that goes over the VC and connects to the air box to try and get cooler air from the front of the engine. This peice it labeled, but the VC is not. this pic does not include the part that connects to the airbox.
this is a pic of the black cover over the cam gears notice the OO shape
please forgive the leaky VC gasket

Possibly confused the 2.0L v/c with the 2.4L v/c. Only labeled dohc neon v/c is the srt, if that is really a neon
. The 420A all have labeled 2.0L v/c as well.
