How Car Engines Work - Not Your Basic Four-Stroke Guide

SOHC engines feature a single camshaft that controls all of the valves but many Honda engines feature DOHC configurations, which means there's a separate camshaft for the intake and the exhaust valves. The advantage here is that the camshafts can be placed closer to the valves, allowing its lobes to either work directly on the valves or through smaller rocker arms. This keeps the valvetrain's inertial mass to a minimum, which helps high-rpm operation even more. View Related Article
