Question I could NOT answer as to why our OHCs won't rev higher than pushrod engines
I was showing a neighbor the OHC and he is like me, has more questions
than answers. He asked me the redline for the OHC and I stated what I thought was like 5200-5500. He asked why it doesn't rev higher since the limiting factor to most pushrod engines is valve float which we should not have. We both walked away stumped for an answer since we both know the valve is being moved just by the lobe on the cam. So why won't it rev higher? I realize the heads have a lot to do with it and cam grind but just for clarity, why won't our OHCs buzz up there in the 6500 range? Not that I want to do it, just curious as to why the limitations? What say yee? Inquiring minds want to know.  Thanks, AZ

The PY Online Forums is the largest online gathering of Pontiac enthusiasts anywhere in the world. Founded in 1991, it was also the first online forum for people to gather and talk about their Pontiacs. Since then, it has become the mecca of Pontiac technical data and knowledge that no other place can surpass.
