the only way to know for sure in this world of Canadian models & engine swaps & ECU changes, is to double check the head for the solinoid, the ECU and CEL... or simply get the shorty or take off the top of your air box and listen for it. You should be able to hear it. Not as obvious as a DOHC but it's there.
