i remember in the 80's most cars had 8 valves,then ford bought out there crappy cvh engines & put them in fiesta's & escorts.then they put mechanical fuel injection on the engine producing 120ish horsepower.vauxhall then did the same with the astra/cavalier engine and also in its day was roughly the same bhp.peugeot got it right with the 205 1.9 gti then about 20yrs later most FAMILY cars nowadays have 20 valves
(vw & audi) or 16v for the rest/they have multipoint fuel injection/twin camshafts/variable valve timing and in the case of the honda v-tech can rev there nuts off & still be ultra reliable?
the only drawback is when they go t1ts up you just have to take it to a garage & remortgage the house.
when i had my 1100 mini with twin valve lifters + 1275 gt twin carbs it was reguarly stripped down & have even used cardboard as a head gasket
