[QUOTE="netmatrix, post: 1119211, member: 217"] I think RELIABILITY is the main agenda here. Not power. If you look at it another way, 4 valves per cylinder, you have smaller valves and smaller metal that surrounds the valve. But with 2 or 3 valves, you have more metal that surrounds the valves. Do take into consideration on mechanical stress, friction and complexity of engine design if you use more valves. Not to mention cost savings.:regular_smile: If a SOHC engne can make similar power to a DOHC engine, so whats the fuss all about? For car freaks, low end and top end power is the debating point. But to a person who has moolah to buy a 600hp car. Would you think he care if it was DOHC ot SOHC?:shades_smile: [/QUOTE]
