auxilary Posted March 17, 2005 Share Posted March 17, 2005 crazy280: I was referencing honda just as an example, I know they haven't made an OHV engine in eons. john: exactly the reason why the new mustang 4.6 has ohc design with 3 valves Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
crazy280 Posted March 17, 2005 Share Posted March 17, 2005 The reason why auto manufacturers are moving to DOHC over pushrod designs has to do with valve layout (3 & 4 valve vs. 2 valve). The cost benefits of a pushrod engine goes away when you're trying activate more then 2 valves in the combustion chamber. Well yeah, that makes sense.
