IINM, SOHC will give better FC and power at the low-end.
the Accord 3.0 is SOHC

well, but there's no such thing that when the engine is running, the intake cam will not be used right?
having two hands to shift items is faster than one right? using the same analogy in DOHC/SOHC, hence DOHC = higher FC. i may be wrong, feel free to correct me. This post has been edited by nerd: Sep 8 2007, 11:47 PM |

QUOTE SOHC is better than DOHC......? never said that. both have their pros and cons. read the posts properly, he was asking the difference between SOHC and DOHC, not which is better. r u kidding me....... than what is the perpose of having the extra cam.....  if indeed DOHC is better than SOHC just because of the twin cams, tell me why top carmakers are still using SOHC instead of sticking with DOHC altogether. answer is, neither one is better than the other per se. they have their pros and cons.

QUOTE(prospeed_ballz @ Sep 9 2007, 12:43 AM) back on the topic, a SOHC 16 valve engine would have better torque on the low end where the DOHC valvetrain's weight results in lower torque. But at high engine speeds, the 16 valve DOHC engine's peak torque and horsepower would be greater. That's the trade-off. With the amount of valves being equal, SOHC has better low-end torque because the valvetrain package is lighter while DOHC has better top-end power...... isn't that what i said, minus the elaboration? |

QUOTE(soitsuagain @ Sep 9 2007, 06:10 PM) I was wondering...does a DOHC V6 and higher car engine actually has one cam driving all the valves in each block? That means like one cam controlling intake and exhaust valve? read the bolded parts carefully and you'll answer your own question |
