I got no quarrels with overhead cams, is just that they cost more to do right, and for similar performance are physically taller, making streamlining more difficult unless the engine is a boxer, put in the mid to rear, or both. And then there are the OHC engines where you set valve lash by putting little freaking shims in little cups on top of the valves...fun fun fun. With modern engine management much of the generally superior items from the older OHC designs can be mooted.

aag, pallet shims. And you can't buy the one you want, so you have to buy a mixed bag. Then you measure every damn one with a micrometer, work out the combination you think you need, torque it down, discover you were a bit off. The redo.
