Default Sohc, Dohc

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

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

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
