It is a 4 cylinder air-cooled engine. Will run forever if properly maintained. VW moters do require periodic valve adjustment, and aren't for pulling trailers

The 1600 engine came out with major improvements over their predecessors.The biggest improvement was going to dual port cylinder heads.(As opposed to single port heads.) Another improvement was moving the oil cooler back away from covering the #3 cylinder. And giving it a larger fan shroud for better air flow.
The intake and exhaust valves were made slightly larger for better aspiration,as well as giving it a larger carberator.(34pict4).
The oil cooling was improved by putting a larger capacity oil pump, and adding a second oil pressure relief valve. I hope that helps.

Let me save you a lot of time and a lot of trouble........go to this website. It will have every answer to ever question when it comes to vintage veedubs. It's a fantastic site!!! I've shared the love of VWs for 8 years before I found this site, and if I had found it earlier it would have been soooooo much easier for me. Use the forums. The guys really help a lot.

As all VW's of this time period, they are four cylinder, 4-stroke, air cooled engines.
