Here we go. Lol I hate spring vibes cant keep av bushings in with the damn things.every ms361 ive seen front av bushing behind sping is worn out or missing. I will take rubber avs any day

Never had that problem on any of my husky spring av saws.

Never had that problem with a rubber av system. I do bet your cylinder cover screws are wollered out and have time certs installed though i bet youve had torn intake boots and them stupid intake boot clamps that are plastic break though.

1mm is a tad shy of 0.040"

Idk what to do with the extra stroke.

The idea was to take a 395 crank and turn the clutch side on the lathe to resemble a 385 pto end.

Ok, I know some models run some pretty generous squish clearance...thinking of a stock 394, squish is usually right around .050. so, if the 385 is in that same ballpark, then about .010 popup should land you right in there at .020 give or take. What about pin diameter?? And most of all, juice worth the squeeze???

Interesting to think about..

So has the OP made a decision on a build saw? If it was me I would go with what has the best price and most parts available.

Hmmm

Crank material is pretty hard steel too...cutting the new threads might be challenging for most of us shade-tree guys

Honestly Dub, I'm really thinking I'd like to do a 385 next. Only decision that remains is whether or not to put the 359 on the chopping block to get a builder or be patient and just buy one....

And just because I've about made my mind up, doesn't mean the discussion needs to end. I love this stuff...even the ribbing back and forth between brand loyalties

Absolutely not out of the question bud. I'd really like to get my booger hooks on that big ol hawg 056 I mentioned earlier.

And yes, all in good fun

So, remembering Onan-Joe's statement about the 385 port shapes being better, does anyone have stock timing numbers handy for the 385 and 390 to compare?

Usually a 385 is 98-100 on exhaust and 390 is 96-97. Me and another guy cut apart 390 and 395 cranks. 1mm of stroke is easily covered with a gasket and a popup or cleaning up the squish band.

[beaglebriar]

Scratch that...all I have is numbers after port work.

 

[mdavlee]

Yes. I'll go look. I have several in my notepad.

 

[Cracker Boy]

Were is @RI Chevy at about now

 

[RIDE-RED 350r]

No hurry bud. Appreciate the info. That's pretty high exhaust for a stock setup from what I've seen in my limited compared to many of you all's experience.

 

[Cracker Boy]

Of the 3 id go 385 honestly
