Yes, that is Owen, my dad, and I in Alexandria La in the early seventies. Engine had stuck the top main bearing and we tore it down and replaced. I do not remember doing anything with the cylinders, but it looks like I was honing with a high tech brake cylinder hone. What ever it takes. This engine is one that I tried after the rotary engine broke. It had the same crank form the 800 Inline 6 with 2.125 stroke. I did use the mains and reeds form the stock direct charge 6 cylinder (150 HP). the crank had larger center to center cylinder spacing as can be seen by the different spacing of the exhaust elbows.
A picture from that same day with Skip, the Champion man, telling me to get it back together and get back on the water.
