SOHC or DOHC?

[alex]

This may sound stupid, but is the Gen3 5s-fe a SOHC or a DOHC? I'm pretty sure mine is a sohc, but other gen3's i have seen say dohc on it. Also, the TTCC page says that the gen3 is a dohc. My question is, are some of the years sohc, and others dohc?

[speedemn]

All DOHC, including yours.

yay!

What is the difference between Four Cam like is says on my plastic engine cover and Dual overhead cam. Is my 95 SE a DOHC or what?

Thanks a lot.

Yes your engine is a DOHC just like the 3vzfe and 5sfe.

Since you have a V6 your engine has 4 cams. 2 cams on each bank of cylinders.

Dual overhead cam (DOHC) refers to a cylinder head with 2 cams (dual) that sit on top of the head (overhead).

5sfe is the engine code for 92-02(?) i4 Camrys

Yeah the 5sfe is 92-02 Camrys....my moms got a 02 camry with a 5sfe sittin' in the garage. The 5sfe is also in the celica gt and gt-s from 91-99 (i could be wrong on those years, but im pretty sure)

[zoni]

for the celica its 90-99, gen 5 (90-93) and gen 6(94-99)

its also in the NA mr2

dohc = dual overhead cam

sfe = part of a engine code

Example: 5S-FE

5S = 5th gen S block. S is also the engine family.

F = narrow valve angle (around 22 degrees).

E = efi (electronic fuel injection)

02 I4 has the 2AZ-FE or whatever the hell it is.

Not without switching to a MR2 head because unlike the MR2 the 5S-FE has one cam gear controlling both camshafts.
