SOHC = Single Overhead Cam
DOHC= Dual Overhead Cam

And there is a rather large power difference between the two. I think itsh like nearly 50 WHP in some cases.

Not sure on the V6 but I do know that the only Accords to come with DOHC stock was the Type R which had the F20B DOHC No VTEC engine and the SiR which had the H22 DOHC VTEC engine.

I may have those turned around but thats the only I-4 Accords with DOHC that I know of.

Hehehe it is possible but dollars to donuts not worth it.

H22 or H23 head on an F22/F23 block can be done...average cost $1700+......average gains 30 hp.
