If pushrods are superior to OHC than why aren't they used in any relevant racing series ?

if pushrods are superior to OHC than why aren't they used in any relevant racing series ?

because they aren't superior

pushrods are cheaper to produce if they were actually superior every single car would be running pushrod engines

so you only use pushrods if you're poor?

Because almost every car manufactured ever is not a race car. Real life isn't Initial D, kiddo.

pushrods are primarily about appealing to a certain pricepoint, same as solid axle rear ends on non-offroading vehicles

so you admit pushrods can't compete?

Not everything is designed to compete on a race track. Most cars are designed to fulfill specific tasks as efficiently and safely as possible.

If we're talking efficiency, the entire reason DOHC was invented was because it has lower friction than pushrods and thus allows for a more efficient, higher-revving engine. Now SOHC, that's for bitch boys who want to save money.

because muh ell ess is supeerier to yer dumb turbo V6

Because "relevant racing series" are multi-billion dollar dick waving contests cucked by safety and regulatory bullshit that are irrelevant to real life.

Emission bullshit aside. Why can I build up a LS that's lighter and physically smaller than a dohc V8 or even V6 that has 2 liters less displacement?

That's why they're commonly used in """"irrelevant racing""""" aka motorsports that the average person has a chance in competing in... Really makes you think.

. sperg

Because relevant racing series use only pneumatic valves.

it was in lemans and btfo'd everyone until the last couple minutes

so you admit pushrods can't compete?

All the redbull F1 planes use pushrod lycomings

>posts a racing series where you literally cannot use anything but a pushrod engine
Lmao

That's pikes peak where you can use any engine you want.

Oh so that's why ohc holds the record there
Way to support your argument...

Memes aside, because racing series often have limits on displacement, and OHC engines can make more power/liter. Pushrod engines are physically much smaller but require a larger displacement to achieve the same power.

>meme displacement rules

Pathetic. I remember back in the day of Le Mans when they were terrified to let the viper race because 8 liters

b

dat moving the goalposts tho

He thinks he won that argument. LOL

ohc only has marginal gains in power and efficiency across the whole band, its not like running na vs turbo. the main reason is weight and reliability because of the high rpm. pushrods no likey 20k rpm for 3 hours straight and ohc is just simpler and lighter. ohv definitely has its place (see: nascar, trucks, muscle cars), ohc definitely has its place (see: f1, economy cars, small high rpm performance engines).

>when you have no rebuttle
>when you think we are the same person
>when u r this dum
not an argument

I remember when the corvettes ran 7 liter engines in response. Then ACO started making displacement ruled and it sucked.

...

>muh over regulated with cuck rules doesnt allow for proper competition from pushrod shit engines!
>pls look at pikes peak as pictured here!!
ohc holds record

>muh goal posts

>original statement: name a legitimate motorsport that uses pushrods
>response: user names a legitimate motorsport that uses pushrods
>you: YEAH UH WELL WHAT ABOUT NO RECORDS HUH YEAH SURE SHOWED YOU FAG HAHALOLXD I SURE SHOWED YOU

Based Koenigsegg

When will it be the normies time for freevalve?

Don't feed alphonse replies.

>literally this mad that pushrods can't compete
No wonder ohv dominated series' exclude ohc from participating

This is a push rod.

.

what happens when they build a ludicris 5v per cylinder hemi monster

>use any engine on pikes peak

Nigger unless you're in the unlimited class, which is a very small group, you've got restrictions out the asshole.

>source: Live next to Pikes Peak, go to the hill climb every year, drive up Pikes Peak once a week every week all year long.

And yet even when it's all said and done, the pushrods aren't even "competing" with OHC, so what's the argument you're trying to make here? Is it that pushrods are shit? Is it that pushrods have no representation because they're shit? Or are you just being a contrarian retard to make yourself feel better?

Bullshit. What is Top Fuel?
>ohv dominated series' exclude ohc
Bullshit. What is drag racing?

Overhead cucks still Butthurt they got btfo on a simple question.
