What is the advantage of DOHC over SOHC? Manufacturers brag about it, but I think that's mostly tapping into the "more is better" mentality...
My understanding (which is limited at best, and quite possibly wrong) is that the primary advantage of OHC instead of pushrods is that it limits valve float because there's less mass to the valvetrain.
Can somebody explain (using small words, please) what the difference/advantages between the one or two overhead cams is?
