In a single overhead camshaft (SOHC) engine, the camshaft is positioned above the cylinder head and controls the opening and closing of the engine's valves. When the camshaft rotates, its lobes push on rocker arms or directly on the valve stems, enabling precise timing of valve movement. In a ten-piston configuration, typically seen in larger engines or performance applications, each piston is connected to its respective cylinder, allowing for efficient air-fuel mixture intake, combustion, and exhaust processes. The synchronized movement of the pistons ensures smooth operation and optimal power delivery.
