A somewhat complex nomination, as the article scope is complicated and subject-matter dependent.
This article is a WP:NEO, with a side-order of WP:OR and WP:SYNTH. There are two notable sections within this article, one about sidevalve engines (L. T, F heads) and the other about overhead valve (I heads). However there is little real connection between the two groups. The important thing for engine design is the valve position, not the cam position.
"Cam in block" has been used as a term. However it's a back formation from overhead cam engines to indicate the previous types. It has no contemporary use for either side or OHV engines.
This article should be split and merged to the appropriate two sections. If the term has any marginal notability, then we can preserve that much as a disambig between sidevalve and OHV. Andy Dingley (talk) 10:18, 14 April 2012 (UTC)
