Cheers mate, i find it really interesting so please do keep them coming.

Quick Q..... are the v6's ''Dual Over Head Cam''? I initially thought ''quad OHC'' due to the engine having 4 camshafts but i think it refers to camshafts PER BANK... therefore making it DOHC..... if that makes sense 

[The Red Baron]

2 cams per head on v6.

2 cams per head on v6.

so is it DOHC or QOHC?

Double Over Head Camshafts -DOHC - usually refers to the fact that the exhaust cams are on a different shaft to the inlet cams, as an old fashioned Single OHC would have all the cams on the one shaft.

As the V6 has separate shafts for inlet and exhaust it is referred to as DOHC even though there are, as you say, actually 4 cam shafts.

Quad Cam Shafts implies that each cylinder has 4 valves and each valve has its own camshaft..

HTH .

That makes perfect sense mate thanks...

each ''bank'' of cylinders needs exhaust and intake hence DOHC because there are two per bank even though there are 2 banks

Cheers again RB.... and sorry not hijacking your thread... this stuff just gives me a har....... gets me excited!

I take it that once the fuel rail and inlets are removed then it's just a case of removing the black plastic (with tose connected red gaskets) to expose the intakes on the head?

look at the phots above, inners are inlet, outsides are exhaust.

edit, yes, when alls thats gone off the top this is what you see. ^^
