This is definitely a newb question, but I am curious why the engine says "4 cam" , but I always see people refer to this engine as DOHC ( dual overhead cam ). Dual = 2 ... see my confusion? HAHAH

I am sure there is an easy answer, thanks for the time and help ... I will be researching a lot when the holidays pass , right now work is SLAMMED!!!
