SOHC has single cam to control intake and exhaust. This one usually used for 2 valves in a single cumbustion cylinder engine.

DOHC has 2 cams. One to control intake and another to control exhaust. This one usually used for 4 valves in a single cumbustion cylinder engine.

Quad cam can only be seen on V engines. Either V6, V8 or V12. It like having 2 engines in one.

Anyway, guys be reasonable. There are always newbies everyday. So do a little to help out rather than putting up sarcastic remarks. Putting up google, wiki or howstuffworks, don't give you a right to say you are better than everyone.:wavey:

Disagreed

No one was insulting anyone..


However, I also do believe that we need to change the "ignorant" mentality.
Googling would give instant and most accurate answers..





For example, I'm not a computer guy. I didn't understand about duo core, single core, quad core stuff.
So i just googled up and came to know details about it.

woah!!nice!hahaha!!thanx for tht comment since im a newbie myself ok bk to d topic...was wondering if that relates to more power on a DOHC engine compared to a SOHC?plus would modding frm a SOHC to DOHC be possible or anyway worth it?according to my fren, there would be no difference and a SOHC would be better off than a DOHC....he did explain y but i cant remember what he actually said...haha!
