I love this forum. Always good discussions and brainstorming with different ideas. Taking a break from making bushings and pin for the front of dads tractor. Hard to take round rolls of hay to feed cows without. I’ve got some catching up on reading to do though. Lol

So back to your point about some saws having residue in transfer ports and some don’t, is that a sign of too much heat? Improper tune? Or hard running? Restricted exhaust causing heat build up in cylinder?

I’m not segueing that, I’m sure some backdown is going to occur. I’m talking about the black residue that some in other posts years ago have mentioned being there basis on there being backflow. I can’t see backflow going all the way down to the lower transfers, especially at higher rpm. Or am I...

Also, crank bearings, I’ve seen the same black residual buildup on the cages for the crank bearings, and on the races. Not sure how hot the bearings get but I assume the crank bearings would generate quite a bit of heat at 13k. Also under the piston and on the side by the pin there is the same...

Still trying to wake up fully so thoughts may seem scattered

I have run saws that definitely run at different operating tempatures. EVen when adjusted right. What gets me is I don’t see the exhaust back feeding all the way down the transfer ports. One thing could be how the operator runs them? Does it idle before being shutoff? Or after a long hard cut...

ive been reading up on transfers, porting etc. and keep running across where people are commenting about the exhaust back flowing down the transfers and leaving carbon build up all the way down the transfers. After some thinking I’ve come to the conclusion that it’s not exhaust backflow, instead...

Any interest in a cuda hot tank parts washer?

Guessing to do it on a lathe youmake a jig to hold it then use a boring bar?

Im curious as to how y'all cut squish band. If dome piston do you try to match the cylinder to the piston? Working on building a squish band cutter and trying to decide on using tool steel or a carbide insert, or custom make an insert

My apologies for the delayed response. Friend is closing down his machine shop and been helping him find a home for some equipment and boxes of tooling and other assorted materials. Definitely interested in both of those cylinders. I'll send a pm here shortly

Thought I seen a 44 ks cylinder while back, but can't remember for sure. Would like to try one of there are any out there, I could be getting my 024/034 stuff confused

I'd be fine with either, didn't know the ks also made some 44.7s

Is this over priced or underpriced?
