DOHC, SOHC and pushrod engines are all different types of IC engines. Check out www.howthingswork.com for a read up and imagaes that show how an IC engine works. Also, search on the internet and pick up a book or five on internal combustion and spark ignition engines at your libray/book store. There is far more to cover than what can be mentioned in a brief post.
