TwinCam (DOHC) heads still have Rocker Arms dude.
My friend actually broke one of them from his SR20DET. Funny thing is that he is very into backyard mechanics, and wanted to pry back the valve spring using large screwdrivers! LOL
ANd how he snapped his cambelt (chain) is beyond me!!!
Lucky the Sr20 has a non interfering head, and didnt smash a piston!

Anyways, multivalve heads also tend to have an effect on torque produced, i mean looking at pushrod/OHC large 3 valve heads, you can see how torque is made much lower with similar capacity engines than their multivalve counterparts. I know that bore and stroke have a lot to do with torque, but im still thinking that smaller multivavle heads were created to fit a larger valve surface in a smaller jap 4 cylinders, which releid on being compact.
I mean u could fit 2 large heavy inlet valves and one exhaust valve in a 4age, or you could fit lighter, more compact 2xexhaust valves and 2xinlet valves that make up the same area as that fat ass one.
