That thing looks like crap

Me too. I'm curious to see what this ends up looking like.

Are these cylinder examples similar in quality to what comes with the HL 066 saw in a box?

Let's hope no

Pass the popcorn.

 

[jake wells]

pass the hard hats when that thing pops it might take some ones head clean off.

This was a DOTD jug n slug kit I picked up a while back...
Some porosity in the casting, especially in the lower transfers...

I didn't take many pics... first is out of box.. other two pics show "stock" and "reworked"...

My jug is very different than jug heads.

My holes are all threaded. Mines a head slapper with no gasket. But only on those lines. The band is at .009 squish, just like a red lever jug.

Base thickness is .250 on 3 corners and .239 on one corner.

No gasket numbers:

Exhaust 98.5
Transfers open on exhaust side at 124
Intake closes at 73

Overall, great stuff here.

Arch not too bad.

Too bad that exhaust didn't start out 5° lower.

Meh. Nothing. 050-.060" won't fix

Right... but can you do that and keep comp at 200?

Probably not

200 psi

You wouldn't want compression that low. These small chambers dissipate heat faster than the big guys.

These lil guys run really well at 230psi and to seem to hold up just fine.

@Canadian farm boy MS260 is pulling 270 psi broken in and is stout for a little saw.

Definitely seems the smaller saws can handle the compression.
