Umm.... you're exageratting a little... but your point is taken... when they
design an OHC motor, they usually design it to rev, becuase it can do so
more reliably than a pushrod motor.... but they don't have to... an OHC
engine can be designed for torque... but for torque, there's NO replacement
for displacement.... you can finesse HP, but torque needs cubic inches!
