It has to be, it explains the massive power, and above all, anything you read on it says 2 - into 1 header pipe, two headers mean two exhaust manifolds, which means two cylanders

Kukerdan, twin headers probably just indicates it has multiple exhaust valves ( ala grizz/ raptor, 400ex. ect. )

nope it's a single,, i've seen the engine apart in front of me.

it has 4 valves and dual overhead cams.

a single intake port (avery nicely shaped port btw),and duel exhaust ports (one for each valve),with a clover shaped combustion chamber that was fairly wide.

the bottom end of the engine had a nice layout, and uses a coilspring clutch instead of a diaphram spring.


btw, this amazing power it puts out is due to misconception.

most quad engines don't put out any where near what they are capable of for their displcement, including raptors,banshees and the honda ex range.
