OHV?

[just_a_coffee_mug]

I'm new to the CMS series, so what does the OHV stands for??

[zarazka3]

OverHead Valveshaft DOHC= Dual Over Head Camshaft

[just_a_coffee_mug]

ahh thanks for the quick respons

[Silveringot]

I wonder what SOHC means then?!?!? (Nah just kidding I know what it is)

Label to tell the differnce between the OHV-8 and the V-8. after all, they both have valves in the head..
just the OHV-8 is like Represents a older version of a Pontiac V-8 Eng and the other V-8 is more of a modern V-8 or performance V-8 Engine.

SOHC stands for Single Overhead Cat. These cars are powered by releasing a mouse, which the cat then chases, pulling the car forward.

All engines have valves in the head.

Its the position of the valves relative to the camshaft.

OHV, Valves over the cam.
SOHC/DOHC, Cam over valves.

Yes I understand what your saying, but I am speaking in a relation of a real world engine. I go into a parts shop and ask for parts on a V-8 engine, it would be, "I need 2 stock heads, a camshaft type(what ever type because of degree lift), valve and lifter kit for a 1976 350 V-8 Chevy engine. No tune port or ported... car dosen't come with fuzzy dice on mirrior.." If I said 1976 OHV 350 engine, the parts guy would be confussed because he be looking for a over head cam system on a stock 350 engine made in 1976 and wouldn't find it at all.

The cam is in the block of that year engine... When the parts guy looks it up, the info will display the parts. When you speak to someone on engines you wouldn't say I have a 1979 OHV Olds 350 engine. You would say I have a 1979 Olds V-8 350 engine or just out right V-8. But game wise there are two model V-8 Engines. If they both say V-8 it would be confuseing to get the parts.

Really The description is labled to the wrong engines. OHV engine should be just V-8 engine (common) because it represents a typical old U.S. V-8 engine from the 60's to 75 before the HEI system, it is useing the old points and condensor ignition. This type has always been called a V-8 engine here in the states. And the other V-8 should be OHC V-8 for Over Head Cam V-8. It uses a Over head Cam system, like found on the newer fords for the Crown Vick when they were in production. I can not say for the inline 4 cyclender engines because most I seen had always been over head cam heads. And Some may have been in block cams, I am not sure on this.. I am sure there is a old wrencher some were here that can varify that with the 4 cyclender.

LMAO! the best one by far!

My serch for a OHV engine just turns up mostly 4 cyclender engines, 2 cylinder engines, motorcycle engines, lawn mower type engines, all useing over head cams.. anywere from 8 valves to 12.

OHV = Overhead Valve.
DOHC = Double overhead cam.
SOHC Single overhead cam.

Yes I understand this, I even went over this with some mechanic buddies here on my end, including one owning a real shop. Both engines use valves with in the head, period. I worked on enough real world engines going back to the 80's to understand this very clearly. I didn't discover fancy names and car mechanics in this game. So I do not understand the issue really. Because in the end, it dosen't matter whether they are on a angle or straight in, they are still never the less in the head, not the block, very simple, That is all to it. Its like I am saying that "colt is a revolver type gun that you load the bulets into the cylender" and I am being told "No it is a 6 shooter that you load in to the cylender, there is a differnce.." It really makes that much sense.

When you order parts on a old engine you do not say for a OHV engine in the U. S. You give the year, the displacment, who makes it and for what car the engine is in if needed. this has been that way, long before wiki. I can still get parts on this very infomation in the present for real, so nothing is change at all. No matter if the dealership, autozone, NAPA, Witneys, Summit race products, Dosen't matter who. Regardless all game engine heads have valves IN the heads. Just like a real world engine, that changes nothing. When i looked up the OHV I looked under images, and those images is what it showed. OHV engine just turns up mostly 4 cyclender engines, 2 cylinder engines, motorcycle engines, lawn mower type engines, all useing over head cams.. anywere from 8 valves to 12

A V-8 engine is were the cyclenders in the block are angled in a form of a V and there are 8 cyclenders. Enhanced the name V-8, bottom line, dosen't matter. This game uses 2 type, a 1960's to 1970's style type V-8. Red Dot didn't make any mistake on what they made, anyone who has worked on engines from that year would get it out of the gate no mistake. The second one is a modern one, useing a dual over head cam system. One cam runs exhaust valves, the other is the intake valves. No mistake there at all. So to go by a correct engine label that is common, really the older looking V-8 should just be V-8, and the other shoud be OHDCV-8 or OHCV-8. Just with the present lable, I know better and never cared. But I am not gonna get pounded on it either when I have already been in this for real..

yes i am necroing a 2 year old thread, HEY warcatt00, i will repeat this for you and then explain what it stands for.

OHV, overhead Valve, as in the Valves are located at a higher location than the camshaft in the engine.

Overhead cam, as in the CAM is located at a higher location than the VALVES in the engine.

is that so hard to understand, it is not talking about the engine's HEAD at all.....

You haven't watched enough Jay Leno's Garage. =P

The earliest cars were T-heads with the valves on the sides of the engine... Then there were flatheads, with both valves on one side of the engine, which was super easy to manufacture in the late 20's to early 50's... The OHV engine didn't come around until about that time and was king until about the 90's when the japanese cars started dominating with their OHC engines... I'm not too clear on the advantage of a DOHC setup but they do tend to produce more power.

If I'm not mistaken, a DOHC setup allows for more valves per cylinder, thus increasing flow and efficiency.
