What I am on about is the constant noise from trolls on this site about what is wrong with Mr. Hopwood's engine.  The idea being that it is an obsolete design from 1948 compared to Honda's invention of the OHC engine in 1969. 


DeDion made an OHV in 1890 and the Marr runabout had OHC in 1903.  This means both types go back more than a century and an OHC engine is not somehow way more modern than an OHV type.


Of course, one new type from the middle of the twentieth, the Wankel, is no longer in production now that Mazda has stopped making them so it looks like it's going to be pistons and poppet valves for the forseeable future.


What this site needs is more on what is right with the Dominator/Atlas/Commando engines and less comments from the trolls about how imperfect it is.   Trolls, left unchecked, can eventually destroy a website.
