When I was working for Tom Conway, we never referred to the engine's as Hirth. We did talk often about the Hirth roller cranks, but never called the whole engine that. It was just a 4 cam engine.

However, I personally don't like focusing on such minutae. If I were reading your book and saw a reference to the Hirth engine I would know what you meant and wouldn't give it a second thought. Some people worry about names too much, IMO.
