How do you tell if you have a dual cam or overhead cam?
Do you mean Dual Overhead Cam and Overhead Valve. Overhead Valve has the camshaft positioned just above the Crankshaft in the block of the engine and uses Pushrods to actuate the valves. Overhead Cam(Single Camshaft) and Dual Overhead Cam(Twin Camshafts) have the Camshaft positioned in the head directly over the valves. As a rule of thumb OHV(Over Head Valve) engines have smaller and shorter heads while SOHC(Single Over Head Camshaft) and especially DOHC(Dual Over Head Camshaft) engines have much wider and taller heads to fit the camshafts and their accessories. Sometimes you can tell by spark plug positioning but this is not always accurate. Most OHV have the spark plugs on the sides of the heads with the distinct exception of HEMI heads. DOHC usually have the plugs in a North-South(Up-Down) arrangement.
