DOHC 24 Valve - 1/29/2008 8:28:21 AM    Ezbay3330   Posts: 3 Joined: 1/29/2008 Status: offline I bought a 94 Dodge stealth (supposed to be all origional) and on the side windows it is marked as a DOHC 24 valve motor.  I had the motor rebuilt and it is a SOHC.  The odd thing is my mechanic insists that the motor has never been apart and the stamped number on the block matches the tag on the firewall?  How can this be? _____________________________ Mark Post #: 1

RE: DOHC 24 Valve - 2/7/2008 4:48:25 AM    jookie7705   Posts: 54 Joined: 3/15/2007 Status: offline Yes, that's correct.  Only the base model Stealth is SOHC, a base 3000GT is DOHC.  It was a Dodge thing, wanting to keep the price down for that model. (in reply to michap62) Post #: 9
