That's easy- Copper Brazed. As in, the water jacket. The pre-war, and early
post war Crosleys used this (I think that version was a 2 stroke?) then
they went to a much better cast iron, overhead cam, 750cc 4, which was
"beefed up" used in many H-Mod racers in the 50's. Especially with the "hot'
crossflow head from the marine version.
The Crosleys were about as close as America came to building a British-Type
car (Other than some built under liscense, like Austins & Rolls). They were
small & archaic, with litle engines. One even won Sebring (index of
performance?) And, other than the Hotshot/Supersport roadsters, they were
ugly as sin...
