Advantages:
-Cylinders only need a thin water jacket around them, instead of cooling fins, which take up more space.
-With a water cooled engine, you can have a real heater/ demister.
-More efficient heat transfer than air cooling.
- Engine temperature can be kept more constant, using a thermostat.
Disadvantages: Prone to leaks , and has moving parts that can fail and cause overheating.

What is heavier an air cooled car engine or a water cooled car engine?
The water cooled engine will typically be heavier, because you have to add in the water pump, the radiator and the water/coolant. The engine block itself may be lighter as there are passages drilled out for the water/coolant to flow through.

Can you run 2 cycle outboad oil in a four wheeler?
You can, but if it is not water-cooled then it will not lubricate correctly since an air-cooled engine runs at nearly or greater than the temperature of a water-cooled engine.

What is the Disadvantage of an air cooled engine compared to a liquid cooled engine?
The dis advantage is that it takes longer to cool the motor as to a liquid cooling it. You can mess up your motor alot quicker also.

Is an air cooled car lighter or heavier than a water cooled car engine?
An air cooled car will be lighter. The air cooled engine has a single thin walled engine block for air cooling just like an air cooled motorcycle or early VW Beetle. There is no antifreeze, radiator, water pump, hoses, etc, that a water cooled car would have. The water cooled engines have two walls (an inner wall for the pistons, etc, and the outer wall to hold the water) to help carry the water around the hot spots of the motor so you have twice the metal plus the weight of the water, etc. There's probably 200lbs to 300lbs savings.
