Well. The U-20 (2000) Datsun Sports engine kept the original cam from the
pushrod engine it was developed from, but had only one (SOHC) operating as a
cam (no rocker shafts).
The other one must be an opposed engine with one cam per bank, but the 4
rocker shafts kind of throws me.
I have one for you, though - do you know of an engine with 2 cams that is also
not considered a twincam, with 8 rocker shafts? It is also a 4 cylinder and
non-British?
