084 rod specs and other stuff?

[EJ mcnamara]

*s-word sorry man I never seen it or I would have responded I haven't been on there in awhile what did you need help on

 

[EvilRoySlade]

You asked if I had a piston. I responded that only if you sold me your MVP2100! Lol

 

[EJ mcnamara]

Lol no way my cliff helsel 2100 is probably the fastest 99cc saw in the world I made three cuts in 1.50 seconds that one isn't for sale either....

You can stroke the 084 /088 the problem is in the balancing.and Al Smith cliff is still building saws and so far they are the saws to beat I'm building a 088 and 090 160 cc saws right now

I’ve got this and an 084, I’m tryin not to lose to them 3140’s. How much can you stroke an 84?

 

[EJ mcnamara]

You put that on and it will be alot more cc than 140

 

[EJ mcnamara]

Your looking around 600.00 your better to leave it stock stroke if you're going to put a 090 on top of it

 

[mdavlee]

Hmm

 

[Deets066]

Unless I figured wrong, 43mm stroke, 66mm bore was 147?

 

[EJ mcnamara]

Yep looks like a plan buddy lot of work ahead of yah post some pics as you build if I can help ask any time

 

[EJ mcnamara]

Nice eye candy those are the best rods the 084

 

[Al Smith]

Some times people get concerned about bluish discoloration on the crank pin end and assume it's because it some how over heated .It didn't .That's termed running the colors from being under heat from an induction heater .Automobile crankshafts are the same way .After 29 years of working in an engine plant I've seen thousands .

I may take you up on that

 

[EvilRoySlade]

Hmm

I’m pretty sure you might not need that anymore.

 

[Bobby Frank]

Hmm

Wouldn't want to sell that would ya?

 

[mdavlee]

Not at the moment. I’m holding out hope that I’ll be interested enough to build a 3120 with it eventually

Well, they ain't exactly makin more, so if you are gonna do 3120 better hang on to that'n.

There’s a guy in North America that has a whole lot of them.

And apparently the full race builders are actually using a different rod now.

 

[EJ mcnamara]

In any of the 3120 strokers or big bores they pretty much only use the 084 rod I had some costom hot rods made to, to do it

Interesting. I’ve been trying to track down info on that. I heard that Cliff and Ed started using something different than 084. That’s why Ed sold off most all of his rods. But I’m on the fringe so it’s all been hearsay.

 

[EJ mcnamara]

Ed was selling everything he was getting out of building saws
