At BehindThe8, we know Single Overhead Camshaft (SOHC) engines. Backed by decades of hands-on experience working with heavy-duty diesel engines, our high-quality parts will meet your needs for reliability, performance, and durability in even the toughest conditions.
Unlike Dual Overhead Camshaft (DOHC) systems, which use two camshafts, SOHC engines manage both intake and exhaust valves through a single rotating cylindrical rod. This simplified design reduces the mass of the valvetrain, leading to cost savings and easier maintenance. SOHC engines deliver dependable performance without unnecessary complexity.
Here’s why SOHC engines are a smart choice:
At Behind the 8, we supply the parts your SOHC engine needs to maintain peak performance.
The cylinder head is central to the function of any engine. It houses the intake and exhaust valves, ensuring efficient combustion while allowing gases to flow smoothly.
The camshaft controls valve timing, ensuring proper operation of the engine’s intake and exhaust valves for consistent airflow. Wear or misalignment can lead to power loss or inefficiency.
