SOHC (single overhead cam) means there is one camshaft on each bank of the engine. Usually, the engine is still a 2 valve design, but sometimes a 3 valve design can be used.

DOHC means there are 2 camshafts in each bank, most of the time controlling 4 valves per cylinder (although there are 5 valve designs).
