OHV or SOHC
OHV = Over Head Valves. The valves are operated by push rods from a cam
mounted in the block between the banks. SOHC = Single Over Head Cam. The valves are operated by a cam mounted in the head. (there are really two cams; one in each head; but this is referred to as a single overhead cam when you are talking about a vee configuration engine; a dual overhead cam vee engine would have two cams in each head).

I bought a '97 with the OHV engine and I'm happy. If the eighth digit in the VIN number is an "E" the engine is a SOHC. If it is an "X" it is a OHV. If you do a google.com search using "explorer SOHC timing chain" you should find lots of information about the problem. |
