That is odd. :?: You're a true China Rider, recracer; you identified all of the oddball parts.

Crazy. :lol:

The text says air cooled in one spot and water cooled in another. In this case both may be correct but not accurate. :?

The new BMW boxers are A/C-L/C hybrids, but the heads are L/C as that's where the heat is. :idea:

Rotax aviation engines are the same. L/C heads A/C cylinders.

The Chinese 'engineers' puzzle me. I shy away from products engineered by the Chinese and prefer accurate clones. They are better copiers than innovators in this arena. :wink:

X2. ;) I only trust the Chinese to make a faithful copy of a Japanese engine. I become skeptical whenever the Chinese start to innovate, especially with hybrid engines! 8O

Spud :lol:

That certainly is an interesting engine, Racer. Thank you for sharing your find with us. :)

This is the type engine I trust the Chinese to manufacture. ;)

I wish Shineray would export some bikes to the United States with this engine! :)
