I'm no engineer, just a DC line-monkey, but I think so.  It wouldn't be 
unusual for them, the 16v 2.0l four in my Neon ACR is SOHC.  The camshaft 
has three lobes per cylinder; two for intake valves and one for exhaust. 
Exhaust rockers are forked so they can operate two valves.


Oh, and since this is my first post, Hi!  My name's Scott, I don't own an 
Alfa yet, but will when my finances and the right car find themselves in 
alignment.

cheers,
scott
