But high tech hurts cost and reliability, OHC's go for high revs over torque, something that I'm just not a fan of. OHV's are smaller and lighter. So overall, I'd rather have an OHV engine. Also,

One myth that I would like to address at this time, is about how OHV's are old while OHCs are new. OHV's are older, by about 20 years, possibly less. Not that big of a differance when looking at 100 years of automotive history.

Yup - that's the ticket. Listen to wisdom when you hear it.
