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.
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 is difference between overhead valve engine and side valve engine on lawn mowers?
An overhead valve (valve in head) engine has the valves in the head (not in the block) and they are in line with the motion of the piston, but are above it. Valves are usually operated by push rods or by overhead cam (driven by timing belt/chain from the crankshaft). The engine can be in any orientation : ie the cylinder motion could be horizontal or vertical. Overhead valve engines are high performance engines used in motor bikes and cars A side valve engine has the valves in the block (not in the head). The valves are parallel to the piston motion and are placed just beside the cylinder. Valves are lifted by a camshaft, gear driven off the crankshaft. This arrangement is also known a 'L-head' engine. Advantages are that the head is simpler. The flow of fuel and exhaust gas is less efficient than overhead valve engine. due to having to make a 90 degree turn. Compression ratios are usually lower with side valve engines, so they will run happily on lower octane fuel. Side valve engines are mostly used on lawnmowers etc.
What does overhead valve mean?
It's a valve that's over your head
What is difference between overhead valve engine and overhead cam engine?
Mainly, the difference is that in an overhead cam engine, the camshaft is mounted on the head of the engine, and the valves are still overhead, in an overhead valve engine (sometimes called a "pushrod motor"), the camshaft is in the crankcase.
Where can pushrods be found in a engine?
Under the valve cover, of an overhead valve engine. They push the rockers on the opposite side of the valve stems. Overhead Cam engines do not have push rods.
What is sohv engine?
Single Overhead Valve Engine
Toyota corolla EE111 1.3 L is 12 valve or 16 valve?
16 valve and double overhead cams
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.
How do you run overhead on a 3126 caterpillar?
You can run the overhead, on your 3126 Caterpillar diesel engine, by removing the valve covers. The overhead can be adjusted with the adjusting screws.
When was the first overhead valve 6-cylinder engine made?
The original overhead valve or OHV piston engine was developed by the Scottish-American David Dunbar Buick around 1902.
