OK, this may be a silly question. I'm no mechanic but do understand just a little about different engine types. Is the Symba engine an overhead cam or pushrod type?. I know the Honda CM91 (Cub 90) had an 89cc aluminum block OHC engine. It looks a little different from the Symba engine. Looking at the Symba parts book, I don't see any push listed, but I can't tell if the it's supposed to be an overhead cam or not. Any smart gearheads know?

There are no pushrods. The valve rockers are actuated by the camshaft directly.

It's actually a good question. There was a time when early Cubs were a pushrod motor. My 67 Cub CM 90 was a pushrod OHV motor but it was one of the last.

Soon after they went OHC and gained one whole HP to 7.5.
