Really? I've never seen a production car with fewer than double the number of coils I see there (3.5?), even with McPherson suspension.

I think some of the coils are hidden behind the wheel/tire.

Heads and pistons from my collection. The thing to note on the bottom head is the shim sitting on it. See the hole burnt throught it? Yeah. Did that in less than an hour, on more than one cylinder. Due to the domed piston pictured next to it.

The top one, dropped intake valve seat, ate a piston.



What kind of crazy motor is that? Boxer 4?

Very sad, indeed. The castings on the outside of the head looked "old", something you wouldn't see in a newer model car, but I haven't ever seen an aircooled VW engine before :)
