Duratec engine KA 1300cc

[soundboy]

Hi, Just wondering about the Duratec engines in the KAs are they OHV or OHC
plus are they belt or chain driven.(and 8, 12 16 valve)
Plus how much difference are they compared to the old 8 valve 1300cc?

I'm looking to buy a KA for my daughter she had one in the past and it was
the simple 1300cc OHV (8 valve engine).
I'm only looking for a small engine as the insurance will be high.

From 2003 they got an 8 valve OHC engine, (same block, I think as the CVH)
69BHP so an improvment on the old bag of nails pushrod lump...
