If you are really at .024 squish, that part is done for you. The carbon may have made that measure slightly lower than it is. You really can’t do much about it anyway.
Unless you wanna degree it, I’m not so sure you should mess with the transfers.
The intake port is slippery slope on strato saws. There is deliberate restriction there so that the negative case pressure will pull air into the transfers via the strato port-personally I wouldn’t play with it.
I’d widen the exhaust port to 65% and keep a good arch on the roof. Open muff, advance timing and call it a day.
My seed to this addiction was a clam shell, an MS250. My grinding has come a long way, I’m not even sure how I didn’t catch a ring on that saw. We all start somewhere, so don’t be discouraged.
Look at how pretty I made this ex port 5 years ago.
