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.
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.
In motoring terms What does OHC stand for?
Overhead Camshaft
What is the full form of DOHC?
Double overhead camshaft
In a overhead cam engine were is the camshaft?
It is in the cylinder head.
What does sohc stand for in reference to an engine?
Single overhead camshaft
When was overhead projector invented?
The overhead projector was invented in the 1960's.
Full-form of SOHC related to bikes?
Single Overhead Camshaft
What is mechanical actuator?
Mechanism with side camshaft and Mechanism with overhead camshaft both valve actuating mechanisms are used to operate inlet or exhaust valves.
How do you tell if your car has a dual or single overhead camshaft?
how can i tell sohc or dohc
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.
What is valve actuating mechanism?
Mechanism with side camshaft and Mechanism with overhead camshaft both valve actuating mechanisms are used to operate inlet or exhaust valves.
