Oh no. Two pages and still... . OHV means the valves are in the head. That's it. It really is that simple. OHC means the cam is over the head. You could, theoretically make a OHC engine with side valves, but that would be retarded. Lawnmowers use side valves because manufacturing costs are much lower (besides, how much power does a lawnmower need?).
