What does 16V on the engine mean?

[MacMichael]

16V refers to a 16-valve engine. 16V engines are all inline 4-cylinder vehicles, generally with a DOHC structure, which stands for double overhead camshaft structure. In this configuration, each cylinder has two intake valves and two exhaust valves, resulting in 4 valves per cylinder. Therefore, a 4-cylinder engine naturally has 16 valves. Relevant information about car engines is as follows: 1. Introduction: The car engine is the device that provides power to the vehicle, serving as the heart of the car. It determines the vehicle's power, fuel efficiency, stability, and environmental performance. Common gasoline and diesel engines are both types of reciprocating piston internal combustion engines. 2. Classification: Depending on the power source, car engines can be categorized into diesel engines, gasoline engines, electric vehicle motors, and hybrid power types, among others.
