English term or phrase: Twin Cam engine

The Harley-Davidson Twin Cam are motorcycle engines made by Harley-Davidson from 1998 to 2016. Although these engines differed significantly from the Evolution engine, which in turn was derived from the series of single camshaft, overhead valve motors that were first released in 1936, they share a number of characteristics with nearly all previous Harley-Davidson engines. Both engines have two cylinders in a V-twin configuration at 45°, are air-cooled (some touring models use liquid cooling for the heads),[1] and activate valves with push-rods. The crankshafts have a single pin with a knife and fork arrangement for the connecting rods. These are sandwiched between a pair of flywheels.

Na ocorrência onde faz parte do nome do motor realmente o certo é manter em inglês, mas onde fala sobre o motor deve ser traduzido.
