Design and development
The Harlequin engine was developed as a replacement to the Heath-Henderson B-4 engine used on the Long Henderson Longster homebuilt aircraft. The cylinders were based on a 74 cubic inch Harley Davidson Engine with connecting rods from Continental built Star Marine engine. The builder was expected to forge their own crankcase and crankshaft.[1][2][3]
