Results for tag: "OHV Engine"

An OHV (overhead valve) engine, also known as a "pushrod" engine, is a type of internal combustion engine design prevalent in many power equipment and automotive applications. The OHV layout places the camshaft within the engine block and uses pushrods to operate the overhead valves. This contrasts with overhead camshaft (OHC) designs where the camshaft resides above the valves within the cylinder head. OHV engines are known for their simplicity, durability, and compact design, making them a popular choice for light trucks, performance cars, and smaller machinery like lawn mowers, generators, and snow blowers. Engine and engine parts markets involve the manufacturing, distribution, and retail of engines and their associated components. Components may include items such as valves, gaskets, pistons, and camshafts. OHV engines frequently feature in this market due to their widespread use in various types of vehicles and equipment. Engine parts particularly relevant to OHV engines, such as specific pushrods or valve train components, are a critical part of the aftermarket and maintenance ecosystem for these engines. Several companies specialize in OHV engines and parts, producing and supplying them to both original equipment manufacturers (OEMs) and the aftermarket. Notable players in the OHV engine market include Briggs & Stratton, known for their small engines; General Motors and Ford, which offer OHV engines in many of their vehicles; Cummins, which designs and manufactures engines for heavy-duty vehicles; and Harley Show Less Read more
