Its Hondas style of a true "hemi" engine, actually its more of a "hemi" than the famous dodge engine as the RFVC engine has sub rocker arms that let each valve open from a corner of the head, and not just the front and back of the head. Grab a shop manual or do a search for "honda RFVC" in goggle and you will be amazed. The engine first came alive in the 1983 XR500R.
