What is the difference between SOHC and DOHC engines?
1 Answers
The differences between SOHC and DOHC engines are: 1. Different structures: SOHC uses a single overhead camshaft on the cylinder head with one camshaft that directly drives the intake and exhaust valves; DOHC has two overhead camshafts placed on the cylinder head, sealed by the valve cover. 2. Different power burst points: SOHC bursts around 2500 to 3500 rpm; DOHC bursts between 4000 to 4500 rpm. The car engine is the device that provides power for the car, consisting of the crankshaft connecting rod mechanism, valve train, fuel supply system, cooling system, lubrication system, ignition system, and starting system.
