There are a few Wisconsin sites on the web, I suggest your friend check them out. The difference between the V-4's was cubic inch displacement, thus horsepower. The "V" meant a V layout of the cylinders, the letter was engine size, and any Wisconsin with a "D" suffix meant it had stellite valves. My memory says all the V4 engines had a ring gear on the flywheel. Some had an electrical system with starter, others had a tin plate over the starter mount hole, some had cranks with a magneto, and some had a hand-wheel on the output shaft for starting. Wisconsin engines are incredibly well built, with tapered roller bearing main bearings, and put out their maximum horsepower at low RPM, as opposed to modern engines that must turn fast to get their rated power. Feed them clean air (both cooling and for combustion), clean fuel, change the oil, and dump some Marvel Oil down the intake before storage and they will last a very long time. Repair parts are hard to find, and expensive, but available for the most part. Jerry
