And OHC isn't modern...it's still 100 year old tech, its a stupid argument.

if you are going to quote me have the integrity to post completly and in context. I agreed that the crude OHC is older but went on to explain what type of development has gone into making it vastly superior.
partally quoting to make your point show how desperate you are to be right and how unethical you are.

sure crude OHC is older than OHV but OHC has been developed into something OHV could dream of it allows mulit valve and effective VVT . with OHC you can change inlet and outlet independantly , something not realistically acheivable with OHV engines. the only benifit I see with using tractor engines is size, yes they are smaller but is physical size worth the trade off?
