No, the image you were looking at was ment to visualize how four cycle engine internals work.
Your F23 may have a single overhead cam, but it has two intake valves and two exhaust valves per cylinder. This has become industry standard for overhead cam designs.

If you really want to see how your engine works and not sure. I found this cool as checking out the rotary engine.
