Two valve's are Sohc, and four valve's are Dohc. Just wondering what the GT's with 3 valve's are?

 

SOHC

Just an extra intake valve.

 

Is it the # of valve's that determine wether or not it sohc or dohc, or something else

 

Nope.

My wife's car has a SOHC, but 4 valves/cylinder.

All how they engineer it.

 

The number of cams determine it...1 overhead for sohc and 2 for dohc..valves dont make a difference

 

thats not what he was asking...he was asking if the number of valves had any effect on the number of cams in the motor..like a 4v SOHC or a 2v DOHC

 

DOHC = Dual OverHead Cams
SOHC = Single OverHead Cam

 

omg, retard, READ THE THREAD, he knows that

 

springs you are wrong.

its ok, mommy will buy you something to make you feel better

 

I was answering this question

 

hey dumbass, you wanna try reading that one more time

he's not asking what SOHC and DOHC stand for, he's asking if the number of valves per cylinder have any effect on wether or not its SOHC or DOHC...looks like you need to learn a little more lil boy, mabey next time, i can teach you what horsepower means

 

Springs you are right thats exactly what I was asking.

 

faststangbk already explained it.

 

WOW is everyone stupidfied from New Years or what? Dunno if you got it out of the other posts but the number of valve's does not contemplate wether its SOHC or DOHC just how its engineered as sacstoy02gt said!

 

Enough said.
