a lo que me refiero es que la diferencia entre un OHV y un SOHC es esta (y no de un leva o dos):

An overhead valve (OHV) engine, also called pushrod engine or I-head engine is a type of piston engine that places the camshaft in the cylinder block (usually beside and slightly above the crankshaft in a straight engine or directly above the crankshaft in the V of a V engine) and uses pushrods or rods to actuate rocker arms above the cylinder head to actuate the valves. Lifters or tappets reside in the engine block between the camshaft and pushrods.

This contrasts with an overhead cam (OHC) design which places the camshafts above the cylinder head and drives the valves directly or through short rocker arms. In an OHC engine, the camshafts are normally part of the cylinder head assembly, while in an I-head engine the camshaft (rarely more than one) is part of the main engine block assembly.

In 1949, Oldsmobile introduced the Rocket V8. It was the first high-compression I-head design, and is the archetype for most modern pushrod engines. General Motors is the world's largest pushrod engine producer with engines such as the 3800 Series III Supercharged V6 (260 hp, 280 lbf·ft torque), LS7 Chevrolet Corvette 7.0 L V8 Engine (505 hp, 475 lbf·ft torque) and LS4 5.3 L DOD V8 (303 hp, 323 lbf·ft torque). Few pushrod type engines remain in production. This is a result of few manufacturers wanting to design both OHV and OHC engines, and competitively OHC racing engines have an advantage in power due to rpm limits. However, in 2002, Chrysler introduced a new pushrod engine: a 5.7L Hemi engine. The new Chrysler Hemi engine presents advanced features such as variable displacement technology and has been a popular option with buyers. The Hemi was on the Ward's 10 Best Engines list for 2003 through 2007.


y que la diferencia entre un leva y dos es SOHC y DOHC

me explico?
