Hi guys,
I'm a Mazda noob. I know Redbook can be wrong (and very frequently is) but according to it, all the 323s from 1991 (and probably other years, I just happen to be looking at 1991) are DOHC. I assuming that's wrong - but despite it thinking that they're all DOHC 1840cc engines, it thinks there are three different power figures. The SP quotes 92kW and 160nM - another quotes 76kW and 140nM and then another a very slightly different figure from that lower one.

Can someone point me to something that shows the TRUE power figures for the various engines? I'm assuming the SOHC is a fair bit lower so maybe Redbook is close with the power.
Also, is there a sure way of telling which engine a car on carsales has? It's just a 1991 BG series 2 Astina.

Cheers.
