What does SOHC on a Ford V6 mean?
SOHC is short for Single Over Head Camshaft.
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.
How many camshafts does a SOHC V8 engine have?
A single overhead camshaft V-8 has 2 camshafts, one on each 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 is the camshaft located?
The camshaft is typically located within the engine, either in the cylinder head (overhead camshafts) or in the engine block (overhead valve configurations). Its primary function is to control the opening and closing of the engine's intake and exhaust valves in sync with the pistons' movements. The precise location can vary depending on the engine design, such as whether it is a single overhead cam (SOHC) or a double overhead cam (DOHC) configuration.
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.
How many camshafts do a single overhead camshaft V8 engine have?
2 Camshafts total in a single overhead camshaft V8. -V8 engines have 2 Cylinder heads. -1 single cam per head. The only exception would be an extremely narrow angle V8 utilizing a single cylinder head, which I am unsure have ever been produced. (Volkswagen produces narrow angle V6's, ( 15' ) which incorporate a single cylinder head.) -Matt McClosky
