Glad the cylinder was salvageable, and I'll bet that orig piston will be just fine.

Question: Did you modify that exhaust port, and if so how? Sounds like the saw is hitting some good RPMs.

How did it feel in the cut?

I had to smooth out some damage, didn't really want to round my exhaust port roof at all but I did increase bevels. Basically did as little as possible to run again as close to original as I could without hanging a ring.
Also took another .004" off the base. Sometimes I just can't help myself.

That's awesome. I love gun raffles.
I guess I lied earlier, I once won a marlin 336.
How about your scores?

Feels strong, but I've never ran anything above a 460 before so who knows.

A couple plain Jane guns and I won the NWTF gun of the year last spring. It's a real nice O/U.

If it feels noticeably stronger than a 460 it is a good running 660. Many of them feel a bit lethargic, good torque but not a lot of speed. Ported ones, however, can turn into beasts!

It is not at all unusual for a 460 to out perform a 660 with bar lengths of 24 or 28". But the 660 is generally better with the longer bar (I'm talking stock saws).

Yep. A longer bar buried with an aggressive chain is where a 660 steps above the 1128s. I ran mine a bit yesterday after not firing it up for a few months--- just damn good saws that are reliable as hell.

I put mine together without the base gasket. 100% aftermarket. 3 ish seconds faster than a 461 in a 22 second cut in 24" beech

Cross piston, Hyway rings.
Only 15 minutes of run time.
