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.
Either the cam follower arms, or the so called "lifters". No camshaft makes DIRECT contact with the valve stems!
It is in the cylinder head.
Single overhead camshaft
Can't find if he invented it, but Bugatti had Sohc engine in 1908
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.
No, it is a straight 6 with a double overhead camshaft.
I'm not a mechanic / technician so I'll just say the camshaft is inside the 3.0 liter V6 engine at the bottom of the " V " It's an overhead valve / pushrod design engine
The camshaft is typically located in the engine, either in the cylinder head (overhead camshaft) or in the engine block (cam-in-block configuration). Its primary function is to control the timing of the opening and closing of the engine's intake and exhaust valves. In modern engines, camshafts are often driven by a timing belt or chain connected to the crankshaft.
A single overhead camshaft V-8 has 2 camshafts, one on each head.
It is an engine that has it's one and only cam shaft in the head above the valves. Instead of having it below in the block. A double overhead cam has two cams in each head.
Hi , it's chain drive whatever the engine has the camshaft in the basement or overhead...bye
