An Ordinary 064 Build

[cease232]

I once bought an 066 but it was actually an 066/064 hybrid. Guy put an 064 jug on an 066 case. Now that’s innovation.

Built an 064 for a buddy who is very particular about his saws. His name is Mike and he goes by @Edwad around these parts. He wanted an 064/066 hybrid, so that’s what he got.

There are still finishing touches that need to be made on it:

The clutch drum will be swapped out for OEM
The bar studs will be swapped out-they don’t allow new cover to seat
The plug wire insulation is frayed and in the wrong place

Mike the Glockman did the powdering.

We need more build threads here.

So here we go...

You range now you know that the 064s are my favorite.. glad to see you're building one I'm sure it's going to be bad to the bone.

Nice job. Pretty saw.

Different muffler in that glossy. Never saw that cover before.
I remember that bar.

You get a chance to torch it off today?

Did this get a piston from a 288?

It did not.

Fired it a few times with fuel down the carb bore, just to get some rpms and make sure nothing fell apart. Checked piston after and buttoned muffler up.

Thankfully I haven’t had a saw go bad yet exc for one 036 where I unknowingly used the wrong rings on a seemingly oem piston that was actually AM.

I need to build/fashion a test tank for these saws. Probably will use an old tank with a long length of line.

This saw will be sitting a while before it’s ever used.

Never saw a cheese grater muffler cover on an 064?

Pretty sure that they were the most common.

I was referring to the glossy add photo, as stated. Cheese grater mufflers are on everything around here. All my two series have them.

Beautiful saw Al! I am sure it will be perfect and bad azz when it leaves your hands.

Um you need to sell at least one of yours first like to me.

Nice saw Doc! You told me you we're going to build it, didnt think it would be that quick. I am in awe! However, I cant do pretty saws like that, I cant force myself to cut with em and ruin the niceness!! Lol

Less common 064 vs. 066
Hybrid coolness?
Case volume?
Cylinder availability?
Not sure why the owner and builder chose this route.
I think it’s pretty awesome when you can bump up the bore size and not be in aftermarket junk territory.

Same idea as boring/stroking a small block vs building a big block. Better handling, instant spool-up (with an 064 flywheel), slightly lighter, old-school cool, etc. Like building a hot shoebox NOVA, instead of a Chevelle, GTO, or Torino. Smaller, quicker and faster.

Al, Just opened the shipping box and this saw is phenomenal!! Excellent work as always!

Thanks for the thread. I'm putting a Cross Performance MMWS 064 jug on a late 066 basket case. This clears up some assembly questions.
