DOHC vs SOHC vs OHV

http://www.samarins.com/glossary/dohc.html

since ima noob and didnt know what DOCH meant i decided to google it and find out. Please no bashing, im sure some people were ignorant just like me about the subject. This page might help someone regarding the Dual overhead cams vs the others.

You learn something new everyday.

Thought i would share.

Hey dudes, I would highly recommend this site:

http://importtuner.com/tech/

It has tons of good tech articles, and the recent issue of the magazine (sitting on my desk) has a good articles on cams... go to walmart and pick up a copy, highly recommended.
