It looks different at the business end as you've accidentally linked to air cooled version. This is the one. I got mine from that seller only a couple of weeks before/after diesel and it does have 4-bearings as advertised.
many thanks for the link, i have looked at a lot of them on ebay and although some of the thumbnail pictures on the front of the listing look different most of the ones in side the advert look the same which is a little confusing. the only thing i see different is one says china bearings and the other says germany bearing which i think i read something about them somewhere.

what are peoples with import duties from china?

many thanks
