yes its still pushrod, thats why its such an awesome motor: small overall size, less parts, one cam, low center of gravity, light weight, good torque and surprisingly efficient for the displacement and power it makes.... why do you need DOHC when it makes just as much power, cheaper, and more efficient?
notice I'm not commenting on the build quality... that is a totally different issue and unrelated to the simple and elegant engineering that went into the LS-series engines.
