What’s the benefit of using a DOHC head?
The benefit of using the DOHC is that you have multiple valves controlling the intake and exhaust. A double camshaft has dedicated valves for inlet and outlet; this leads to smooth transmission and a noise free ride. In each DOHC head, you have a double set of valves.
What’s the difference between DOHC and SOHC overhead cams?
Well, DOHC is short for dual overhead cam and the is one of the advanced and prominent cam mechanism used in the engines. Unlike a SOHC setup, DOHC has two cams to operate the valves in the head. These two cams are capable of operating 4 valves per head with ease by offering a wide range of customisations.
What’s the difference between DOHC and SOHC valves?
Unlike a SOHC setup, DOHC has two cams to operate the valves in the head. These two cams are capable of operating 4 valves per head with ease by offering a wide range of customisations. Firstly, DOHC has twice the number of cams and this allows the valves to be placed in the desired position for maximum output.
Which is easier to repair DOHC or SOHC?
It is lighter than a DOHC setup. The SOHC setup involves less moving parts hence is easy to repair. As this setup is simpler, it is less expensive to maintain and manufacture. It is possible to extract power lower down in the rev range but settling with low high-end power.

Apart from this physical difference, their performance is also not the same. These are the differences between the two engines: The Double Overhead Cam has two camshafts.
Why does the 4G64 DOHC head need to be plugged?
The 7 bolt, SOHC blocks have oil return holes that the DOHC 4G64 and the 4G63, do not have. So, these holes need to be plugged. The reason being is because after you bolt the DOHC head onto the 4G63 SOHC, these holes are not completely covered by the head. So, they are partially exposed.
The benefit of using the DOHC is that you have multiple valves controlling the intake and exhaust. A double camshaft has dedicated valves for inlet and outlet; this leads to smooth transmission and a noise free ride. In each DOHC head, you have a double set of valves.
