I wouldn't want it on my Camaro, BUT, when you said "how most manufacturers are implementing them". It got me to thinking, they could put an option for how loud you want the re-start to be. That could be fun (or obnoxious, which can be both sometimes). Hmmmm. |

The main adavntage of pushrod engines is the heads are shorter. Since height in the engine bay is often s limiting factor it means you can have a longer stroke in the same space which gives you more torque as you push on the crankshaft further from the center line. There is also less complexity than a DOHC so pushrod is cheaper too. The main disadvantages of a pusrod engine is that the geometry restricts you to 2 valves per cylinder which restricts airflow at higher RPMs.
