Idle is for suckers!
An inline 4 doesn't need much of counterweights. Also notice the hollow throws on the crank.
Look at the valve seats. Neat color. 5 points question; what matherial are they?

Jim K.: Out of curiosity, is copper-beryllium actually used for valve seats? My first impession is that it would erode away rapidly if it were used as exhaust valve seats.
Also, someone once told me that copper-beryllium can be used for piston rings but I have never been able to verify this. Have you ever heard of such a thing?

Found my own answer (yes Cu/Be is used as exhaust valve seats mostly for thermal conductivity reasons).

lot less rotating mass, how do they cross drill oil pasages
interesting thing is green coat of cylinder walls ... only thing that i saw in the net similar to this is micro blue anti friction coating...
