It would be easier asking what's similar between those engines.

The 2 valve has 2 valves per cylinder (1 exhaust, 1 intake). The 3 valve has 3 valves per cylinder (2 exhaust, 1 intake or the other way around). The 4 valve has 4 valves per cylinder (2 exhaust, 2 intake).

The 4v also has 4 cams compared to our two. The 3v engine also has vairable cam timing among other things.

unfortunatly the 2v heads flow the worst of all three
