I never heard of a pushrod motor with a roller crank from the Porsche factory. I was under the impression that only 4-cam Carrera engines could be had with rollers.

Educate me, please.

This is all news to me as well- I know SPG made roller cranks for 356 as well as VW engines but I'd never heard of a factory pushrod engine roller crank equipped.  I  don't know a lot about the really early 25 and 36hp VW cased engines so I'm not surprised I hadn't heard of this, but roller bearing cranks in Super engines to '57- I've seen a number of pushrod engines apart and that one's a real surprise.
