440/460 Hybrid

I bought aftermarket guides that did the same Jeremy. I took a wide soldering iron and melted the bottom bulging the lowerer edge. They fit tight after.

That's a great idea John!

Actually, I'm pretty handy with a burr. I was able to clean the flash outta the threads, but the casting itself made me nervous.

I agree 100%

crazy thing was I checked all the others in stock and they were fine and have sold a decent number without complaints but the QC is super weak in stuff from Farmertec

Farmertec AV mounts.....yeah, I'd use them again. Matter of fact, their complete rubber kits are quite impressive with the exception of a few pieces. Not impressed with the finish of the intake boot, but I have no doubt it will do its job.

The new caps are a bit different. I don't like them but to each his own. I prefer the flippies.

 

[huskihl]

Your farmertec sh!t might suck, but that paint job has 100% badass written all over it

 

[Definitive Dave]

these non-flippys are only available that I can find on the farmertec MS290 crankcase which wont use the regular flippys, I keep trying to buy them separately but so far no dice
I sent them along cause they are different and the few guys who had seen them seemed to get saw-boners at the thought of a flippy alternative
Jeremy told me they are hard to twist in and out especially with oily hands.
There is another non-flippy alternative on the horizon, I got a sample as did some other guys. They have moving parts in the form of push button on the edge, but no flippy mechanism.

Well, now that we got the bottom end buttoned up for the most part, we need to make the top end fit within the case halves.
I figured I needed to remove approx 0.045" from both sides of the base flange. (Flywheel & PTO side).

 

[Adirondackstihl]

Now that it fits (sorta), I can set it on the case with the flywheel mocked up and figure out where on the transfer tunnels I'll need to clearance.

 

[Adirondackstihl]

So a little grinding and fitting, grinding and fitting. Until you can get the cylinder to sit nice and flat on the base.
Both sides (FW & PTO) transfer tunnels were clearanced.

 

[Adirondackstihl]

Yup
That oughta do the trick

 

[Adirondackstihl]

Here's Daves favorite part.....

Now we need to slot the holes in the base to match the case. I use an 044/440 gasket to transfer the holes onto the 046/460 cylinder base.



It's kind of a grind to fit deal unless your setting up CNC equip to do the work for you.

Throwing the piston on just because....

The cost difference between OEM and Meteor in most cases doesn't make sense. Why pay more for AF?
OEM here.

Aluminum flat bar? 3/16" x 1".
What's that for?
