It looks like the newer GM DOD engines are all pushrods. When cylinders are shut off, they seem to disengage the pushrods so the valves aren't actuated and the cylinders aren't compressing anything.

Now what I wonder is whether the Chrysler Hemis are pushrods, and whether they use the same sort of system.
