Re:yeah, its got a hemi, its a jeep and its stock
jeep has used the 4L inline 6 for a long time cause it's an awsome engine. inline configurated engine last longer cause the pistons have less friction than a V configuration. in a V config engine the pistons have the friction of their own weight leaning on the cylinders, V config. puts the pistons at an angle, meaning they're going to rest-lean on the cylinders, as opposed to inline that they're completely vertical, the only friction the pistons will have is it's own up and down movement. kinda difficult to explain just by typeing.

2 valves? is that measured as 2 valves per intake and exhaust.. or just 2 valves.. because for today's technology... only 2 valves in a cylinder, is like going backwards to me..

2 big valve = torque
has nothing to do with technology, in fact if that hemi has displacement on demand or wahtever dsm calls it... its light ages above your honda motor
