push rod
Camshaft-to-rocker linkage
A push rod is a rod in an internal combustion engine that transmits motion from the camshaft to the valves, typically through a rocker arm.
Push rod engines position the camshaft in the engine block rather than the cylinder head, distinguishing them from overhead cam designs.
The term extends to any rod that transmits force by pushing: The push rod connects the pedal to the brake mechanism.
