"Nakajima NZ engine" link

When I click on the link to the supposed "Nakajima NZ" engine, it just redirects me to a page on some naval observation plane (the Nakajima E4N). This plane lists the well-known Nakajima Kotobuki 9-cyl radial as it's engine. I'm assuming that the link ought connect to the Kotobuki page, and someone goofed? I'm going to change it; if anyone has any problems with this, they can revert it to the way it is now, if they think that's a better solution. .45Colt 06:08, 20 January 2014 (UTC) — Preceding unsigned comment added by .45Colt (talk • contribs)

I swear I signed that comment...before I saved it, I realized that I had put 5 tildes instead of 4, so I fixed it before I saved the page. Now it says I didn't sign it. WTH. Anyway, I'm not going to change it after all. I noticed it says "seven-cylinder" and Kotobuki is nine. But I'm not convinced it's accurate. There may be a Nakajima NZ series engine, but it doesn't fit with any Japanese naming conventions I've ever seen, and I don't find anything about any Nakajima seven-cylinder engine. They got into buisiness developing the nine-cylinder Bristol Jupiter engine. Perhaps there was a seven-cyl derivative of the Kotobuki, or they cut a 14-cyl Nakajima Sakae in half to make a smaller engine, but I'm dubious about it being called the "NZ". The way the page on the E4N is written, it sounds more like the "NZ" and "NJ" they mention are codes for the aircraft variants themselves; it doesn't list anywhere that "NZ" and "NJ" denote their engines, and the only engine it does list is the Kotobuki. If anyone can educate me further, I'd be delighted. Signed(!) .45Colt 06:26, 20 January 2014 (UTC)
