WHAT DOES PUSHROD MEAN IN ENGLISH?

pushrod

Overhead valve

An overhead valve engine is just what it says, the valves are placed over the head of the pistons. this was an improvement over the old flat head engine, where the valves where placed in the block next to the piston. OHC, SOHC and DOHC engines place the camshaft overhead but they are still OHV engines. This type of valvetrain installation, also informally called pushrod engine or I-head engine, is a type of piston engine that places the camshaft within the cylinder block, and uses pushrods or rods to actuate rocker arms above the cylinder head to actuate the valves. Lifters or tappets are located in the engine block between the camshaft and pushrods. The more modern overhead camshaft design avoids the use of pushrods by putting the camshaft in the cylinder head. In 1949, Oldsmobile introduced the Rocket V8. It was the first high-compression I-head design, and is the archetype for most modern pushrod engines. General Motors is the world's largest pushrod engine producer, producing both V6 and V8 pushrod engines. Few pushrod type engines remain in production outside of the United States market.
