Ok.....

OK. I have a 1990 SOHC mazda protege 5 spd. Now, is that a 1.6 L or 1.8 L?? I have heard both, figure you guys would know. Is there a way to look and find out for sure? thanx
Merry x-mas

Are you sure? Maybe mine has a 1.6? The plugs are at the front of the head on mine...

What the hell is going on with this car?

the question isn't whether it is sohc or dohc, it's 1.6 or 1.8. My plugs are in the front. rotor is on the right side of head.
