In conjunction of a recent thread I had interjected some thoughts in that were taken as offensive .some clarification .
The 10 series saws were light years ahead in two cycle design .They used a very unique semi closed transfer port design through a windowed piston .It was not only directional but used varied length transfer tunnels during the transfer cycle which were not used on any other saw engine I am aware of .
Because they are a clam shell designed engine milling the base of a cylinder to raise compression is not possible .However they are a thin piston ring design which under dynamic or running conditions will be under higher pressures than in a static condition .
I personally have never seen a reason to change the actually porting dynamics on these designs .Which is not saying some improvements are out of line .For that matter I could care less what another person does the their own saws .
However keep in mind on a forum there are many ideas .To take offense because someone interjects a thought contrary to your own isn't real cool .To take everybody who offers a thought as being out of line I would have to say is being very thin skinned .
So this I do have to say if you can't stand conversation regarding an idea it's best not to post it .
For the record I am far from a novice on 10 series Macs .On a rigid mount engine like a 10-10 or a 700 I can have one stripped down to the bones and spread out on a work bench in about 20 minutes flat .Not a record but a damned good average
