Its name derives from the location of the camshaft, which was a compromise between an overhead valve and an overhead cam layout. The camshaft was mounted above the cylinder but aside the valves and actuated them through a very short tappet and a rocker arm, as it was not near enough to act directly upon the valves. The layout was an evolutionary dead-end and was not adapted for other engines. The final 4-cylinder versions of the CIH engine were built in 1986 for the Opel Rekord E, having been progressively superseded by the Opel Family II unit, but production of the 6-cylinder 2.5 litre and 3.0 litre versions continued with newly developed OHC heads until their discontinuation in 1995. There was also a diesel engine using this layout, first seen in the Opel Rekord D in 1972.. }
