Silly question Im sure, but....

Whats the difference in the 750 engines with the round can cover compared to the rectangular ones? Was there an 8 and 16 valve version of the same sized engine? All the research Im doing to showing the round cam version. I cant seem to find much on the style I have with my 750 LX. Even my shop service manual shows this model to have the round covers.

yeah, round is 8 valve. rectangular is 16 valve.

Starting with your '80 GS750, Suzuki changed the 750 engines from 8 valve (round cam covers) to 16 valve (rectangular cam covers).

See I knew it was a silly question. Thanks.

Check to be sure you have the correct manual. There will be many differences in the 8 valve & the 16 valve engines

The Cafe Kid will chime in here soon. This is one of his favourite subjects.

It's not silly if you don't know and would like to learn a little. I didn't know before I got on this site. It is an easy question though. I like those lol!
