Dominant 371

check out the dominant saw web site.

to me I sense an odor of male bovine fecal matter but that is my opinion.

however, I have never heard of anyone having one or seeing a picture of this special engineered gasket.

I have one. There's a small gain from what I tested.

is it a metal gasket?

Sort of. It's about 3/4" thick

Alil more in cut rpm would be nice IMO

Keep in mind it's pulling a 24" bar, full comp with a 8 pin. I also lean on it pretty good so as far as RPM goes I think it's doing ok for a 70 cc saw. I agree a compression bump is gonna help. I also think it lost some torque with the lighter piston but it's no slouch the way it is now.

Yeah you need spacers to mount the lower exhaust bolts. Need longer M6 bolts for the muffler as well. It was worth 5% or so in a cant. I never tested again.

Does muffler opening affect it any?
