Default D16a8 Rover engine... what are the specs on this engine?

http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors...=true

thats on ebay now, is it really "Higher lift camshaft, better flowing head and stiffer valve springs over the dohc zc jdm motor"


Dont know much about this engine other than its a edm rover engine...

Doesn't even look like a Honda motor. Looks more like a Mazda BP engine.

D16A8. Honda's engine, just in Rover shell.

1.6l Dohc desing

130hp/6800rpm

153nm/5800rpm

Same as A9, just with rovers ugly valve cover. Some models were equipped with catalytic convertor. Basic 1.6 Dohc layout with 9.5:1 compression. A9 ran with PM7 components, not sure about the A8, but definatley runs great with PM7.

It comes with the USDM spec 4-1 header instead of the better flowing JDM 4-2-1 header.
It comes with a WHITE plastic T-Belt cover instead of black
Valvecover is SPECIAL
POWER and SPEC-WISE I DOUBT there's anything MAJOR in difference.

The A8 A9 was a follower to a ZC motor.

So thatswhy it has minor upgrades and diffrences to the "old" ZC engine.
