16 valve g16b or not?

The coil pack g16b in a baleno doesn't have "16 valve" in the cover on the top of the engine, what is the difference between this one and the one you see in the vitara?

All g16b's are 16valve.
Vitara motors run a different intake manifold, its easier to hook a baleno intake to the factory sierra airbox (there's a maruti part that is a direct fit too). The baleno also runs a slightly different sensor arrangement because of the coil pack setup but that's no big deal, as far as the internals of the block and head are concerned they are pretty much the same, just looks a little different on the outside.

Not sure if it's coil pack or any other details about it, could be worth enquiring about though.

Thanks leigh
I will check it out, now sort of heading towards swb vit just for the tank as well but if this is 250 bucks then worth it.

Seems I'm the new owner of a $250 baleno.
I asked the question and it was coilpack even though he said it was a 98 *shrugs*

Engine is the right one after fighting to make contact with the seller.
Next trick will be to find or make a fuel tank.
Anyone made one before?
