Guy was looking for a 3450 with 20". He wanted my GB bar I had been running on it. But told him I would sell it with this ole oem bar. Time will tell if it goes.

Dual port muffler with 3 shoe clutch.

When checking the squish on a saw is it best to check with the rings on the piston or does it matter

Does any one know wer I can get transfer cover gaskets for a 2159? Thought about removing the bottom of the transfer ports to the gasket lines. But i would wanna remove the covers to make sure i get all the shavings out. If i motosealed them back in minus gasket i would be losing the gasket width in the transfer....seems counter productive to me. Not sure if there is gains to be made with my thoughts or just leave it alone? Pen point shows shiny material to be removed... have seen some pics of guys doing this on these motors.

I think it's just an O ring.

Reuse the old o-ring along with some Moto seal and you'll be fine. Just degrease everything with some brake cleaner before you put it back together.

You don't have to take it all the way back to the gasket line. Also,be aware of the screw locations while grinding. You can get into the threads real easy.

I do both. No rings and check over the pin for mock-up. After saw together, I check though plug hole all assembled.

So they r indeed paper gaskets and not o-rings. Curiosity killed the cat which has brought me to this question. I did remove the covers just to see what it looked like in there. The paper gaskets r stuck to the head pretty good. The covers come off with ease. I figured before i boogered them up tryin to get um off i should check my options. Besides calling a dealer i havent found anything yet on the interwebs.
And thank u for the grinding tip. If i go that direction it will be a very slow and thought out process

Never heard of one with gaskets. I wonder if the previous guy took them off because they were bad and just replaced them with a gasket? From what I've heard, the only way to get the O-rings is with a brand new cylinder

Zackly...paper gasket seems like a bad idea.

 

[tickbitintn]

350 had gaskets also...
You can trace them out and cut your own.
O-rings are in the newer x-torq models

353 has gaskets as well, came apart fine for me and have to be re used along with some sealer for insurance purposes as I could find no new replacements. Had to have a special torx bit with a hole in the middle of it to take it apart. Thought it was nice to be able to hog a lot out of there easily, now I think I actually negated other gains that were made by doing so.

Now I'm thinking I didn't pull the covers when I ported my 353 because I didn't have the security bits for the screws.

Here's a pic of Randy's beautiful port work on a 359 I believe. I kinda used it as a guide and my 353 runs pretty darn good.
