also just fyi the boxer engine is in a porsche and the pistons go like this:
[--0--]
They used to be air-cooled but are not anymore.
the subaru's also use a "boxer" engine. Air cooling has nothing to due with being a boxer motor. it is called a boxer motor becaus if you look at any two pistons on a side the are going back and forth like a boxer. The advantages of a boxer engine are a lower center of gravity because the heads and the cams and the pistons are all on a flat plane inline with the crank.

CC means cumbustion chamber.
