What's the point of using pushrods anymore?

Any benefit of them is negated by the huge disadvantages.

Cost savings at GM who feels a 70yo technology doesn't need improvement or scrapping.
Inb4 much smaller than OHV.
Their philosophy is "If it ain't broke..."
Plus "muh torqs"

We may have contraticting information but as far as I am aware pushrods actually make less torque than an equal displacement OHC or DOHC

Why do you even care?
It's not like anyone's forcing you to buy them.

Same reason people still put outdated manual transmissions in cars, all the benefits of them are negated by the huge disadvantage they have against actual DCT transmissions.
Basically, a "muh feels" minority of faggots.

It's simply outdated.

>this thread again

Ohc raises the engine cg and envelope size.
Ohc makes head gasket changes more difficult because you now have to remove your cams and fuck with timing.
Ohc will have lubrication problems before a cam in block does.

Cam in block is absolutely fine for the most part. The advantages of full electronic valve actuation though is glorious and will be the next major leap in engine management

Because we keep buying engines with pushrods. You ride the bus anyways, why do you care? A pushrod block is much smaller than a OHC block, and that's a HUGE advantage in most cases

/pol/acks take note here we have a typical shit thread on Veeky Forums motive how it makes an apples to oranges comparison and phrases it in an emotionally charged way that ducks people into authoring to defend their subjective preference as if there's a real technical basis.
