Then its a 2V 2.8L engine. The newer versionwould be a 5V 2.8 liter engine. You measure valves per
cylinder not by total amount of valves in the engine, just so your aware.

That's awesome, because my S4 is reported to have a 40 valve motor! Given that it's an 8 cylinder car, that's 320 valves total...man this thing really does breathe freely!

ok ill give you that but no one runs around calling it a 2v v6, ive always seen itcalled the 12v refering to the number of valves in the whole engine, then we got the 30v AKA 5v because it is 30v for the whole engine but the covers say 5v
