Yes from the cyl side. I don't remember how he would install seat rings. We farmed out a lot of machine work to Bignotti's shop. Piston failure was common. Watson would have so many blowed up blocks (no head remember) he would part them in the bandsaw (between cyls) and fly cut them smooth then cut an o-ring groove. He'd get close enough so that the cam towers would fit with a little massaging. Taking 2 hurt blocks and being able to make 1 usable one.
