maybe in the fall or during winter, today is the first day of racing (practice) so a lot of the chainsaw stuff will be tossed in the shed and forgotten about until the weather is cold.

Had it running, but I didn't like the outcome... I then scavenged parts from it to make the hybrid... so now I have a 'long-block' China 660 collecting dust in the shed.

That's called "get the job done, close enough"... On a real note, That looks like fun. Would've loved for them to have shown the finished product.

No leaks around the bottom of the intake?

Making a Screwdriver for a hand plane... my goal is to have it look like the picture of the wooden driver. Im just using it as reference.

Yessir, I hear that! I spent many hot sweaty days in the VA heat under my rigs and many cold days and nights working on vehicles in Upstate NY. Slowly, I'm working back towards the hotrods and big trucks.

I used a heat gun, a rubber mallet and China made bearing puller... without issue.

No sir... and that'll be 650-700hp with a 650cfm carb that has been modified, slightly. 😉

I had a 68 442... The day I sold it i seen 3 on the highway heading home. Like gut punches with everyone that passed. I'm building a destroked 400... Dart SHP block, callies rods and crank, CP pistons, Dart Aluminum pro series heads... etc... should be good for 650-700hp I built a few...

I used to machine HD output shafts and custom housings for the Dana 20s... I had to fabricate a skidplate/case protector/girdle because with Big power and big tires if you didn't, it would split those cases in half. I then went with a 203/205 doubler in my mudder/play rig and in my crawler I...

So beat it into the case, beat it while it's in the case, drop it, bath it in oil and add heat. Did I get that right!? 😆

Pretty sure there are videos on YT. Should be easy enough to find. 🤷‍♂️

You basically screw the body into the seal, then turn the t-handle (it should line up with the center hole on the crank) it should pull the seal out with ease.

This was the Stroker Saw. I didn't like the outcome so I tossed in a 461 crank and AM piston... no clue to where my numbers are besides my squish (.032")... Seems to run good for blind porting.
