"Overhead camshaft Overhead camshaft, commonly abbreviated to OHC, is a valvetrain configuration which places the camshaft of an internal combustion engine of the reciprocating type within the cylinder heads (""above"" the pistons and combustion chambers) and drives the valves or lifters in a more direct manner compared with overhead valves (OHV) and pushrods. Compared with OHV pushrod systems with the same number of valves, the reciprocating components of the OHC system are fewer and have a lower overall mass. Though the system that drives the camshafts may be more complex, most accept that added complexity as a trade-off for better"

This he did in 1898 when he built a trike that weighed 118 pounds, and whose single cylinder had a bore and stroke of 3 inches each. He brought the concept of the overhead valve engine with him to Buick in 1901, where the invention was patented to Buick's chief engineer Eugene Richard in 1904 (applied 1902).

A standard for high-performance automotive engines, chain-driven OHC technology allows the intake and exhaust valves to be positioned for optimum engine performance. This offers lower resistance for the air/fuel mixture flow. With fewer moving parts, OHC engines produce less mechanical noise than competitive technologies and offer better cooling performance to combat overheating. It’s also believed that Subaru is the first company to utilize electronic fuel injection (EFI) technology in"

The overhead valve internal combustion engine was known in theory by at least 1896, when U.S. patent 563,140, awarded to William F. Davis, illustrated an internal combustion engine with valves in the head, showing his solution to the problem of how to cool the head, which problem had made the overhead valve engine impossible before then.

Single- and double-overhead camshaft (SOHC and DOHC, respectively) engines have overhead camshafts typically operated by chain, belt, gear train or bevel gear drive. The earliest motorcycle engines had exhaust valves operated in the same way as a side-valve engine, but they had overhead intake valves held closed by a weak spring. The intake valve was opened by the suction caused by the intake stroke. As the need for mechanical control of the intake valve arose,"

"Overhead valve engine An overhead valve engine (OHV engine), or ""pushrod engine"", is a reciprocating piston engine whose poppet valves are sited in the cylinder head. An OHV engine's valvetrain operates its valves via a camshaft within the cylinder block, cam followers (or ""tappets""), pushrods, and rocker arms. The OHV engine was an advance over the older flathead engine, whose valves were sited within the cylinder block. Some early ""OHV"" engines known as ""F-heads"" used both side-valves and overhead valves. Because OHC engines also have their valves in the head, they could also be called OHV engines. However, the term"

The fundamental reason for the OHC valvetrain is that it offers an increase in the engine's ability to exchange induction and exhaust gases (this exchange is sometimes known as ""engine breathing"" ). Another performance advantage is gained as a result of the better optimised port configurations made possible with overhead camshaft designs. With no intrusive pushrods, the overhead camshaft cylinder head design can use straighter ports of more advantageous cross-section and length. The OHC design allows for higher engine speeds than comparable cam-in-block designs, as a result of having lower valvetrain mass. The higher"
