...SOHC means that the same camshaft controls both intake and exhaust valve lift. It's very tricky to engineer an engine so intake and exhaust lift can be equal
and still more or less optimize output, but it's possible- and the advantage is less weight and less complexity.

Damnit!!! At 3am in the morning, my friend asked me why the S2000 has an SOHC instead of a DOHC. Thinking that he did some research and found out it was SOHC, I didn't question him, but rather I believed him. So I did him a favor and posted this thread to get some answers. Now I look like an idiot.
PS. I posted this right after I got a good laugh from the "Why you won't hear VTEC kick in" thread.

Yea Moderator, Please remove this post like it never happened.
I just found out, after my friend and I had a good laugh about the "Why you won't hear VTEC kick in" thread...he asked me why S2K has SOHC instead of DOHC, to trick me into posting a stupid thread. He got me good...that fuquer.
