Not necessarily. Quick and easy on any type, might be less to lose modifying the piston instead of the cylinder. Or you might not want to alter the shape of the port. Problem with clamshells is it costs a million dollars to lower the cylinder to increase compression.

Pretty common to take a little off the bottom of the skirt on the intake side instead of lowering the port.

Never known the Kiwis to be big on workplace safety wear but could see them requiring some medieval fingerless gauntlet looking things like this.

They chug along forever and you can get em cheap. All the parts are easy to find except the tank.

I was 100% confident it'd be the first thing I saw soon as I ordered another nonreturnable replacement. Figured I could cancel before it shipped. Took 3 more days.

This is what wasn’t on my bench. Searched 3 days for it. Figured it’d show up soon as I ordered another, so I did. 3 more days later heard a jingle when the compressor started and here it lies. fml

The possibilities are endless

Do you make the hole bigger and keep it round or elongate it? I elongate mine that look or act like they need it.

That adds up. Can't see the Boxheads in Waiblingen having the innovation.

Stihl did this? Impressive if they did.

It runs fine, just different. Doesn't scream at WOT when it's too lean, just bogs down.
