I never knew!
Americans sub-contracting to a German company? Probably an outsourcing program born out of operation paperclip. But I did know Porsche designed cylinders on various Aerrimachi aircraft motors as well as 2 stroke Aermacchi motors used in Harley Davidson Golf Carts in the 1960's. Then later Harley Davidson bike engines when we Americans could not figure out more cooling fins actually have a function of moving heat when its not in the air stream.
