Should be 12mm on both is my understanding.

Thats exactly whats on my bench next. 592 should be here next week! I was thinking of starting with a 585 if I can't get enough weight off the 592 piston.

Must have hired some gorillas to run your saws! Mine has 180+ comp and no decomp and I can't say I ever felt like it wanted to break plastic. Even did one at 200psi and it felt capable. Now my 390 at 210psi will break one on the first or second pull without a decomp. I always felt the bigger...

That would be worth the work!

My 390 pho weights 19.6 lbs topped off.

I know its been a few months but duty calls. But now its pissin rain! So its saw work time? Do you think it has to much strato timing? Is there such a thing? Not sure what too much would even do to the performance. I guess it would...well its just a guess cuz I haven't really thought about it...

Thanks Mark...appreciate it.

Morning Gents Hoping someone knows how to get ahold of Definitive Dave. Ordered a piston a week ago second day shipping and have not received. Sent email asking for a delivery date but have received no response. Hoping someone has a better way to contact him other than the generic email that I...

Fixed up the driveway at the lake cabin. Cut a flat spot next to the deck for fire pit area. Cut a pad for the sauna. Put some cool steps in.

Ah shoot. That sucks. I had a 353 that I put lots of time into as well. It ripped for a 50cc saw. Lost a Cclip and wasted the piston and jug. I feel your pain. Still sitting in a box. Im still in mourning so I haven't put the 346 jug that I bought for it on yet. Lol

Yeah I get it. Im just curious with bigger p&c and crank what it actually ends up weighing. Dry weight? Wet weight? Does it save 1lb? Maybe 1.5lbs? Certainly the wet weight will be less due to less fluid capacity. But that poses a downside as well. Guess what im thinking is could I trim 1lb...

Its all for fun (and learning) for sure but I'm wondering with all the work your doing if the weight will get close to factory 390 weight?

That's the best reaction ever!! And exactly what I was thinking!

If I didn't already have 4 I'd be all over it!

For an experienced builder such as yourself beating up on bigger saws is probably easy. Lackeys like me not so much. I think having classes that help get more saws (especially the very popular models) into the race is a good thing. Of course having the classic 3456 classes should not go away...
