Those truck intakes actually work really well. They make decent HP and torque down low and flow quite well up to 7k rpms. I’ve seen pictures of the truck intakes where guys have shaved and painted them and they actually look decent. Finding a good TBSS intake would be awesome followed by an...

I 100% understand your frustration but DON’T SELL IT. If you need a break just walk away even if the car just sits till next spring. I haven’t touched my car since last October. I have a handful of parts for it but just no desire to start fighting with it again. I might not even touch it...

I feel your frustration with the fuel pressure regulator. I’ve tried 3 corvette style regulators. 2 cheap pos and 1 actual ac delco and none of them would keep my fuel pressure close to 60psi. Only thing I can figure is that my fuel pump just over powers them. I’m running a walbro 255lph...

You can always decline. It can take years to build a good reputation but it only takes one time to destroy it. Bad news always travels faster than good news Refusing to do 1 job is better than never getting another

I’d say the newest 562xp is a decent saw. I just finished porting this 562xp. It handled a 24” 3/8 full comp aggressive square filed chain pretty decent. It has the dished piston, 550xp style cylinder base gasket, and a muffler very similar to a 572xp.

Twas an experience. Lol

This is actually the second time I ran the saw. The first time I tried testing it the saw would start right up and piss rev great. Sink it in wood and it’d fall on its face and stall. I found out the hard way you have to watch the fuel line where it comes into the carb box. The hose is super...

Went straight out of the box to the bench for some “tweaking”. Less than 1/2 a tank of fuel run through it when I made the vid.

Trial and error. I’ve ported several of these saws and 6* seems to be the sweet spot for how I do them.

Here’s this saw in wood. I had run about a half tank of fuel through it when I did the video.

I know someone is gonna be curious and everybody loves numbers so here’s where I set it I 80 T 120/124 E 102 and widened to %65 of the bore I find most all strato saws like a little shorter BD when compared to other saws. I’m also a fan of keeping the muffler outlet as close to the cylinder as...

I didn’t take many pictures of the reassembly. The clutch drum bearing is bone dry so I gave it a little lube when reassembling

Heat shield and the new muffler gasket both port matched

I also machined a flat spot on the top of the cylinder. Makes it much easier to dial in and hold in place on the lathe. (Plus it gives me a spot to leave my mark)
