Listen to yourself.

You are now contradicting yourself.

graywolf quite clearly qualified (as EVERY push-rod supporter did) that the larger displacement pushrod engine is smaller than the equivalent OHC cam model.

You are just trying to back out of you point of view now.

This is your comment:

Maybe its true for some cars, but for the majority its not. For example I have a clio 1.2, their is so much space in the engine bay. All the renault clios with a bigger displacement; 1.4, 1.6 I can physically see less space in the engine bay the bigger the engine displacement gets....

If you compare the same engine but with only bigger displacement, its almost always going to be bigger.
You clearly never read a a word any of the push-rod supports typed.

To a T they ALL made the comaparion between larger displacement push-rod engines and smaller displacement OHC models.

You lathced onto the "larger displacment of same engine type" thought - and you projected this on their points of view.
