"Depending on the location of the camshaft, the cams operate the valves either directly or through a linkage of pushrods and rockers. Direct operation involves a simpler mechanism and leads to fewer failures, but requires the camshaft to be positioned at the top of the cylinders."

motor met laag geplaatste nokkenas

or just keep the English term, there is no concise Dutch term for it other than describing it in the way I have done above.
If it is a V-type engine, you could call it "motor met centraal geplaatste nokkenas"
