Looks great Jay
Where did the timing end up.

I had 104 124 78 laid out but had to raise the exhaust farther to get some arch in it
Not sure where it finished,maybe 102 but I'll check it in a few.

This old cylinder has lived a ruff life
There's some nice scratches and nicks in the plating. Looks like it was seized real good once anyway but that's what rings are for.

The plastic was clear coated and I didn't notice so the parts washer removed it
I'm on my way to get a can of clear. Lol

 

[jmssaws]

Cylinder is finished and on.
I cut 040 off and 035 from the chamber
Finished up at 103 123 77

Jason sent me pics of the saw, and it looks incredible compared to what I started with.

Also just got this message...

"Holy sh*t is this saw stout.
My best 044 by far"

 

[jmssaws]

It's new and these are the first cuts so it's slowed down and fat.

All in non-critical spots, I'm assuming? Reason I ask is that I have a pretty scratched up ks 064 cylinder that I'd like to put into service. Score marks going through the plating and extending down the bore... I'll get pics.
Nice build, btw.

That sounds healthy J.

That sounds healthy J.

It's a long way ahead of any I've done before.

 

[cgraham1]

Hard to tell ,but i think the transfers in the ks are fatter than the mahle ones ,and the intake opening looks larger also .

They do look very large.

They do look very large.

They can't be any bigger than they are without fixing holes.
A tremendous amount of material has been removed from the transfers.

A scratch don't bother me
A piece of plating missing or nick doesn't bother me either as long as the rings don't cross it.
I have a couple buckets full of 064 cylinders if you need one

Did Randy send you an acorn to plant from his square oak tree?
