Crushed to Running 461

[Rich Fife]

I didn't take too many pictures... but, I purchase this crushed 461 for $25... spent just shy of $500 to get it running and looking good. I used a China tank and dual port muffler... I couldn't justify spending the money that Stigl wants on their tanks... I swapped out all China tank components for Stihl components... the tank feels actually really nice... I'd say this is probably one of the cleanest, smooth no burrs or off-casting tanks.
Anyway I digress... below is how it looked when I purchased it For $25.

So this is a build thread? Without pics? Or a "hey, check out the #chinasaw I built thread". Either way, go you.

I machined .060" from the base, .043" from the squish @ 5* taper
Exhaust was cleaned up and reshaped @ 108*
X-fers 127* - 130*
Intake 78*
Squish .020"

Isn't that the same thing?

After cutting the base .055" and pulling it out... I cut the squish, did the port work... I wasn't content with .025" for a squish... so, I ended up chucking the cylinder back in the lathe, dialing it in and removing the additional .005"... would it have mattered? No not really...

Anyway, a bunch of parts came in... got it all assembled...

Thanks man. I'm going to assume I'll need to touch a port or two... but, I won't know until I stick it into some wood... I typically like a little more blowdown... and a little less exhaust.
