Maybe they have something "newer", but they've been making individual VW
heads for probably thirty years.  They have a poor reputation for valve life
and oil leaks, however.  Just looking at them reveals what I would think
would be insufficient fin area.  Robust enough for high compression drag
engines running a few seconds at a time, but not something I'd want to fly
behind at high power settings for very long.  No personal experience with
them, but I've heard and read a lot of stories from people who know...
