The article I (and apparently Tox) read said Honda and Porsche had agreed to share technology in the manner I described. It is certainly quite possible that they had a similar deal with Toyota.

Porsche did in fact license the Mitsubishi patented balance shafts for use in the 944 4-cylinder engine. They are not above using good technology just because they did not invent it.

When I refer to the "water cooled series" I am refering to the boxer flat 6 engines as used in the Boxster and 911 series cars as opposed to the classic air cooled version used in the previous generation 911 series cars.

Interesting story Bieg. I'm just catching up on posts and came across yours. Funny that the S2K and Boxster now compete in the same category.
