I think Cam knows something about a project with waterboxer converted to oil cool engine. It was posted on this site about a year or longer ago.

The topic goes back to 2004 on this site.

Here is another site you might want to check out.  It will answer the questions about cooling etc.

Hot VW's did an article on the subject a few years back.  This might have been the fellow mentioned:

all this info is making me want to scrap the idea of an oxyboxer. as cool as it be to have in my beetle, i think by the time the dust settles a nice 69x94 beetle motor would be cheaper. thanks for the links though!
