'''Pushrods''' are found in an [[OHV|overhead valve]] [[Four stroke|4-stroke]] where the engine rods actuate [[rocker arm]]s above the cylinder head to actuate the valves. Lifters or tappets reside in the engine block between the camshaft and pushrods. | '''Pushrods''' are found in an [[OHV|overhead valve]] [[Four stroke|4-stroke]] where the engine rods actuate [[rocker arm]]s above the cylinder head to actuate the valves.

The [[camshaft]] in the cylinder block is usually beside and slightly above the crankshaft in a straight engine or directly above the crankshaft in the V of a V engine and uses pushrods or rods to actuate [[rocker arm]]s above the cylinder head to actuate the valves.
