-Before the Maya I, the Maya was manufactured, although with the same 130 hp at 2,600 rpm.

-A characteristic of these engines was that they had two camshafts, one on each side of the crankcase.

-On one side, they controlled the exhaust valves and on the other side, the intake valves. As can be seen in the below illustrations.
