The Opel OHV family, also called the Kadett engine and the Viva engine after its best-known applications, is a pushrod inline-four that was the first all-new engine Opel of Germany developed after the Second World War. It was released in 1962 in a 993 cc 1.0 litre form for the Kadett A and stayed in use in some versions through 1993. Enlargements followed with a 1.1 litre of 1,078 cc in 1965 and a 1.2 litre of 1,196 cc in 1971, and the 1.0 litre was revived in 1973 and again in 1982 for economy models before it was retired in 1992 because it could not meet Euro 1 emissions standards. Vauxhall built a locally produced version for the Viva that soon developed separately, and the GM Family 1 engine gradually replaced the OHV from 1979.
