No.... Porsche 914!   It had a VW bus engine in it basically but the Germans
always experimented with alloy combinations.  Afterall, an aircooled engine
should expand and contract and keep it's tolerances.  I remember someone
getting a new beetle in 1973 and the thing started leaking oil soon after
they got it. I suspect the engine tolerances changed rather rapidly. Well, to
cut to the quick, there was a hefty percentage of magnesium in the alloy
which, when ignited properly, would be impossible to put out.  I think this
plagued even the 911 flat six from time to time but I would have to research
it. Fieros? Now is that a play on the word fire?
