The General Motors LS-based small-block engine family is a popular example of these kinds of OHV V-type engines. Simpler camshaft drive system: OHV engines have a less complex drive system for the camshaft than OHC engines. [16] Most OHC engines drive the camshaft or camshafts using a timing belt, a chain, or multiple chains.
OHC cylinder head (for a 1987 Honda D15A3 engine) An overhead camshaft (OHC) engine is a piston engine in which the camshaft is located in the cylinder head above the combustion chamber. [1] [2] This contrasts with earlier overhead valve engines (OHV), where the camshaft is located below the combustion chamber in the engine block. [3]
The GM Family I is a straight-four piston engine that was developed by Opel, a former subsidiary of General Motors and now a subsidiary of PSA Group, to replace the Vauxhall OHV, Opel OHV and the smaller capacity Opel CIH engines for use on small to mid-range cars from Opel/Vauxhall.
It was available in versions of 100, 110 and latest 130 PS. The only visible difference between the versions is the relocation of the oil filler cap from upper right (Honda 2003-2005, engine type 4EE 2, 100PS version, 5-hole injector nozzles), to lower right, then to lower left corner of the engine (Opel engine types A17DT A17DTC A17DTE [35]).

The Vortec 2200 (RPO code L43) is an OHV straight-4 truck engine. This engine is equipped with secondary air injection, and is flex-fuel capable. It is entirely different from the Iron Duke, and was the last North American iteration of the GM 122 engine. The 2200 uses an iron block and aluminum two-valve cylinder head.
In Europe, the Pinto OHC was introduced in 1970 to replace the Essex V4 used in the Corsair as that range was subsumed into the Mk3 Cortina and Taunus V4 for the German Fords range (mainly the new Taunus TC). It was the first Ford engine to feature a belt-driven overhead camshaft. Early Pinto engines suffered from excessive cam and follower ...
For the 1965 model year, the new 232 engine replaced the Nash 195.6 cu in (3.2 L) OHV I6 in the Classic and Ambassador models. This was also the first availability of a six in the Ambassador line since 1956. In 1966, a 199 cu in (3.3 L) version of the 232 replaced the OHV and L-head 195.6 cu in (3.2 L) engines in AMC cars.
The CIH engine was expected to require less maintenance than an OHC design and was also lighter, albeit negated somewhat by the use of a cast iron head. [2] Unlike its smaller stablemate - the Opel OHV, the CIH was never adapted for transverse mounting (for front wheel drive applications), and is always found in rear wheel drive Opel/Vauxhall cars.
