And acually ohc can be traced back to at least the 1920's so yes the both have been around a simalar amount of time
Use the correct terms instead, it avoids misunderstanding. Over Head Valve refers to nothing more than that the valves are placed in the cylinder head, which is usually the case for both push rod and OHC.
