True.  But the WBX is more closely related to the T1 engine than the T4 .. though the engineers
did borrow bits from the T4 design as well.  The rod journals and three of the four main bearing
journals are T1 (the #1 bearing by the flywheel is T4), the rods are T1-based.  The hydraulic 
lifters, flywheel and flywheel attachment came from the T4 design, but the oilpump, camshaft
and cam bearings are T1-derived.  I think the oil filter boss was lifted from the CT/CZ series
"T1" 1600, but can't say for sure.  

Lest we wander too far and invoke the wrath of GregM .. who's going to be the first person here
to put a WBX engine into their T3? :-)
