12 valve
A 12 valve engine has twelve openings that help air and fuel get in and out of the engine. More openings can help the engine run better.
The term '12 valve' refers to the number of valves in the engine's cylinder head, which control the intake and exhaust of air and fuel. More valves can improve engine efficiency and performance.
