I guess you don't have to put your signature engraving on the jug. Already done for you. Lol

He did make it look factory. You got punches for that Al?

Pretty sure that didn't just happen to be there

 

[RI Chevy]

Lol. I know, just funnin.

 

[paragonbuilder]

Maybe it's the new HLSupply/DRF 262 jug...[emoji6]

 

[drf256]

I hate 262 mufflers.

 

[drf256]

Uh uh. I know what you're thinking. "Did he fire six shots or only five?" Well to tell you the truth in all this excitement I kinda lost track myself. But being this is a .44 Magnum, the most powerful handgun in the world and would blow your head clean off, you've gotta ask yourself one question: "Do I feel lucky?" Well, do ya, punk?

 

[Mastermind]

Sharpen your chisel Doc.......damn.

 

[RI Chevy]

Lol
Looks like it went through a meat grinder.
Total gut job!

 

[drf256]

Added that @Red97 deflector.

 

[RI Chevy]

Lol. Better than new.

 

[Red97]

That folks is the reason for a cut to fit part.. try that with a 288 deflector

Looking good Al

 

[dustinwilt68]

Looking REAL good!

 

[huskihl]

Mine look like that too. Mig it on, grind it off. I'm a grinder, not a welder I guess

The jug had the best factory timing I've seen for a 262. I needed to do very little to the uppers. It also had the worst plating I've seen, chipping like crazy no matter how careful I was.

This jug had nearly no flywheel relief and very wide tunnel. As wide as the KS non decomp. I had to work the outer tunnel to clear the flywheel after the jug drop.

Squish came in at 24. I'm going with that. A little less compression and more room for carbon buildup and safety.

The dirty looking stuff in the ports isn't dirt, its plating.

It's common on 262's and a giant PITA when you're trying to precisely grind a port. You're cruising along in soft aluminum, then you hit a wtf spot.

 

[drf256]

The exhaust port is at 65% bore width. 31.2mm to be exact. On the 262, the piston skirt width is around .100" wider on each side than 65% bore, so all you really need to do is eye up your lines with some safety margin and mark the jug.

Yes Joe. I was very happy for the extra meat on that abomination. Plus we all know the Red97 deflector adds whoopass.

I love the 262 but I loathe the muff mod.

If anyone has a trick for getting the lower restriction out, please advise.

Next time I'm gonna cut the defector with a tin smiths, fold it back and grind the shít out of the restriction. Then fold back and weld.
