What is the difference between overhead cam and overhead valve?
Overhead valves open vertically from the head into the combustion chamber. Overhead valve engines use a system of lifters, push rods, and rocker arms to operate the valves. The cam on an overhead valve system is adjacent to the crankshaft, and the lifters, push rods and rockers work together to operate the valves. Overhead cam engines position the camshaft directly above the valves. In that position, there is much less weight of the valve operation mechanism, resulting in a potentially higher engine operating speed.
What does overhead valve mean?

What is difference between overhead valve engine and overhead cam engine?

State the main advantage of an overhead cam arrangement compared to an overhead valve arrangement?
the advantage of OHC : - more accurate control of valve operation, especially at higher speeds. where as the OHV is more complicated due to the pushrod and rocker system that was added. hope this helps x
What are the advantages of an overhead camshaft valve operating mechanism compared to the side camshaft with overhead valves?
Fewer moving valve train parts such as the push rods.
What is sohv engine?
