These numbers are after machine work.....

Ex: 110°
In: 87°
Tr: First point of opening is on the exhaust side at 124°, at 130° both ports are flush with the top of the piston. At 133° the intake side is flush with the piston crown.
Should be a torque monster with those numbers.

Dang. Intake must have been around 80 before the cut.

Depending on bore percentage width of exhaust port as it stands, I’d be fixin to lose that bottom ring if it needs some widnin.

With fuel injection, I’m not so sure as much negative case pressure is needed as in a Venturi fuel flow based saw. Your experimentation will spell it out. I bet the intake is fine as is.

I hope at least one experiment is to leave all the ports after the machine work the way they are now and just slick ‘em up. I do think 110* is real low for a saw of that displacement, but you have 40-46* of case compression if I’m doin my numbers right. Wide bore, short stroke.

You’re hitting 110 a lot faster with that short stroke than one would the other way around. 54mm and only 79cc.

At least that is how I see it, but who really gives two shíts what I think, lol.

What I see is them using all the tech and not being as limited by carburetor EPA issues. I believe the factory timing being set more where we would want it is telling us a story here.

You should take the weekend off, ya just quoted yourself.

Meh

It's pretty wide.....and working saws are us....so I intend to keep the bottom ring.

I would love to move the pin though.

I bet you are right, and why I'll just epoxy one jug to test that theory.

I'm not planning on leaving the exhaust that low.....but 105° is as high as I "think" it really needs to go. But...to test its reaction to increased blowdown, I'll be doing 102° on one of them.

Yep....not a lot of meat above the port. Gotta remember the 661 though. 56mm bore. I take the exhaust way up on that saw. It loves blowdown.

Well.....I do.

They ain't playing around. Stihl has been doing their R&D.

Just another thanks from us for taking the time to do this thread and share Randy. I know it takes extra time, and they ain’t makin any more of that.

+1 from me as well Randy awesome thread :campeon:

Worse time for me to pick to do a thread fellas. I was up most of the night coughing. I'm not feeling so sporty today.
