Bourke engine

• DOHC or Twin Cam engine• • 4-cylinder 16-valve DOHC engine

• DOHC means Double OverHead Cam, or sometimes it could be called "Twin Cam". A DOHC setup is used in most of newer cars. Since it's possible to install multiple valves per cylinder and place intake valves on the opposite side from exhaust vales, a DOHC engine can "breathe" better, meaning that it can produce more horsepower with smaller engine volume. Compare: The 3.5-liter V6 DOHC engine of 2003 Nissan Pathfinder has 240 hp, similar to 245 hp of the 5.9-liter V8 OHV engine of 2003 Dodge Durango. Pros: High efficiency, possible to install multiple valves per cylinder and adopt variable timing.Cons: More complex and more expensive design.
