Question: What does OHV mean?

Answer: OHV simply means "Overhead valve".

Overhead valve (OHV) engine: On this style engine, the valves are located above the cylinder(s) rather than parallel to it.  This enables the engine to develop more torque than a conventional (also called 'L Head') engine of the same size.  OHV engines also run cooler and more efficiently as a result of this engine valve location.
