It is fixed now.

And some offtopic stuff. I wanted to se how high RPM a turbo engine cut go of producing power whit the same engines displacement but whit more modern 16 valve and dual overhead cam.
Answer: 10400 RPM for max power. Note: i can get more power from this engine, but that is at the cost of more power at lower RPM.
Im also posting this because i can se many complain about they cant get there turbo engine over 10000 RPM and this here is the prof of that it can be done.

Please note this is not a OHV engine.

What happens when you use a flatplane crank? Higher or lower power/rpm?

I've said this before that I don't usually trust Wikipedia, but Wikipedia does say every engine was in fact pushrod.

Re: Insane revver OHV engine

Many Corvettes had big block engines, up to the 454 was fitted.

As for pushrod engines, the only one NOT using that was the original ZR1.
It had a all alloy DOHC 32 valve engine designed by Lotus and built by Mercruicer.

Chevy could not make such advanced engines on their own at that time. ;)

This is America, dammit. We don't know what DOHC means. :P But in all seriousness, Chevy has it right in using pushrod on their sports cars and trucks - I mean, have you ever realized that we have nearly half a million mile 1990's Chevy trucks as daily drivers here? My buddy has one that has 300,000 miles, and his dad's has 450,000 miles.
