Type 1 Engines and 9RM Engines

Illustration 1	g00296342
Cylinder and valve location for Type 1 engines and 9RM engines (A) Exhaust valves (B) Inlet valves

Note: Type 1 engines can be identified in two ways. The first method refers to Illustration 1. When the valve cover is removed, look at the cylinder head valves. Type 1 engines have two exhaust valves in a row and two inlet valves that are in a row.

The second method does not require the removal of the valve cover. Refer to the inlet manifold and the exhaust manifold. Type 1 engines have two exhaust ports in a row and two inlet ports that are in a row.

When the camshaft is viewed from the front of the engine the camshaft rotates in the following direction: ... Clockwise

Note: The front end of the engine is opposite the flywheel end. The left side and the right side of the engine are viewed from the flywheel end. The No. 1 cylinder is the front cylinder.

Type 2 Engines and 7BJ Engines

Cylinder and valve location for Type 2 engines and 7BJ engines (A) Exhaust valves (B) Inlet valves

Note: Type 2 engines can be identified in two ways. The first method refers to Illustration 2. When the valve cover is removed, look at the cylinder head valves. Type 2 engines alternate the exhaust valves and the inlet valves.

Note: Some of the Type 2 7BJ engines may look like the Type 1 engines. When the valve cover is removed, these engines may have two exhaust valves in a row and two inlet valves in a row. This is only a small percentage of the Type 2 7BJ engines.

The second method does not require the removal of the valve cover. Refer to the inlet manifold and the exhaust manifold. Type 2 engines alternate the exhaust ports and the inlet ports.
