Subject: Re: 4.5 litre pushrods
I agree with Laurence,

Back in the dim and distant days of doing my engineering degree we were taught that reciprocating masses need to be as light as possible, especially on valve gear. So perhaps these were results of ongoing improvement on the Sanction 3 Meadows engine by Harry Westlake.

This worthy pushrod engine was superseded by the V12 which of course is an OHC engine.
