How about you take off your socks and count up the number of moving parts in a SOHC vs a pushrod V8 valve train.

Then ponder the inertial mass involved in each and recall that a lighter valve train can be opened and closed quicker allowing more area under the curve.

Then think about that pushrod pinch in the LA intake track and it's complete lack in a SOHC design.

Want to keep playing?


They say there are no such thing as a stupid question.
They say there is always the exception that proves the rule.
Don't be the exception.
