The U20 SOHC design is very similar to the Mercedes of the same era. The 
finger followers were an unusual design. Most OHC designs of that time had 
the cam directly over the valve stems with a a small shim type tappet in 
between. You would be very thankful for the Datsun/Mercedes designs if you 
have ever attempted a valve adjustment on a Jaguar XK, or even worse  Alfa 
DOHC engines of the same vintage.
