FYI, The Water Boxer Crankshaft is actually a likeness of the type 4 crank. The cam and valve train is similar to the type 1 except for the lifters. In fact ratio rockers for a type 1 and a late model (71+ up) oil pump will fit and work perfectly. For high performance use, type 4 solid lifters and push rods to eliminate problems with the hydraulics.
