Having owned DOHC cars (Lotus, Jag), I think there are too many moving parts and torque curve is at too high RPMs.

But, I have three cigarette lighters and three (left after removing one) cup holders.



while thats true about DOHC in general....i have no issues with my SR. it doesnt have diesel low end but its got plenty of tq at 2k to move itself.


Miata DOHC engine goes forever. There was a guy on Miata.net with over 400K miles on a 1.6L 4 banger! Original drive train <img src="/forums/images/graemlins/kewl.gif" alt="" /> In fact when you think about it, does my 3.5L SHOC 24V mitsu engine really have less moving parts than a 3.5L DOHC 24V mitsu engine?
