Are 16 valves better than 8?
Well 8 valves (8v) basically means a 4-cyl engine with 2 valves/cyl (one for intake and one for exhaust). 16 valves (16v) means 4 valves/cyl (two each for intake and exhaust). The 16v engine is better in terms of performance as it has an easier time taking in air and pushing out exhaust (i.e, breathing).
