flatheads 2 valves for each cylinder (both at the top of the block) running off one camshaft, and the two end exhaust valves go to each end of the block and the two centers are shared and come out the middle
I know the answer now thanks, I knew it was a side valve but wondered why the exhaust is on one side and inlet other, I was wondering if the valves were on opposite sides of pistons/cylinders, but it turns out they have exhaust channels between cylinders leading to manifolds.
@brouser1, Yep it sucks, Because we all get in to hot rodding for better gas mileage, I wouldn't even bet you because I know your civic gets better gas mileage, but we don't care to much about that.
@brouser1 this proovs that 1, u got a ricers car. 2. u dont have money for gas. 3. u dont have money for a flat head ! go out and have som fun in ur "low gas milage honda"

When engine is idleing, carb butterflies r closed, supercharger is turning, must be huge vacuum between charger and butterflies in carbs?

Being a side valve how are the exhaust valves operated? does it have 3 cams?
because a cam in the valley of the V could not operate side valves on the outside of the V.
See what I'm wondering?

SWEET-great engine choice- and try to be easy on the
hondas- the drivers have their head up their ass!
and dont have a clue what damage a blown flattie-
will do to their honda- they would have to use a lot-
of nitrous-to keep up-and blow-up!!
