046 cylinder identification

My next hybrid is gunna have a 272 piston. Taller crown, shorter skirts, and single ring.

The short skirt will help with the intake duration. But it's about .1 taller than a 46 piston, so it will take some machining to make it right

It will have no choice but to be faster with a Husky part in it.

I was thinking of messing with a husky 181 thin ring piston

Ignored.

Cool, I'd like to see the difference between the 181 and the 46.

I don't got no stinkin' lathe

I double checked the 181 and it wont work.

Im liking the look of that 272 piston.
take some off the top and turn it to a bit of a popup.
take material off the band to make it fit without needing to lower the jug, the shorter skirt will give me more intake.

Hmmmm, might order one to mess with

 

[Brewz]

Looking closer at the cylinder, it seems some putz has had a crack at "porting" and raised the intake roof a bit with a file.

Well that rules out a husky piston.
Will just stick with a meteor 46 piston on this one.

FYI, the Meteor 460 piston is a little heavier, but it also had wider skirts than OEM (As measured by Doc Al, who I believe is also planning on building a Hybrid).

How wide are the skirts on the hoosky compared to the 046?

How on earth is he going to get a 046 jug on an 026?

Hey, he did a MS 460 with a D jug that I salvaged (it had transfer on it, and the guy replaced the P&C with AM and sold the saw), and that saw runs VERY STRONG!

I recently bought a Hyway 460 piston and cylinder kit.
It showed up with horrendous ports.
I sent pics to Hyway and they refunded my money..

Today I dug it out and fixed it up and measured port timing.
It ended up at 104/122/78
I also took a tad out of the lower transfers but bugger all really, just smoothed them out.

Horrible ports, but decent #s. Good job on salvaging that!

Have you run it yet?

 

[RI Chevy]

How did you fix that intake port Brewz? Nice job.

The wiseco 272 piston has 42mm wide skirts. It took 2 normal base gaskets and one of the low compression ones to clear squish. No machine work and it's pretty impressive.
