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 JD Engine with connecting rods from Continental built Star auto engine. The builder was expected to machine their own crankshaft, Les Long cast and sold crankcases[1][2][3]
