Anyone good at maths here? I don't have a degree wheel yet :oops:. Is there a good way to use % stroke length to find the degrees of a distance from TDC? I'm about to go grind on a cylinder and I want to know how far to grind.

There is software just for this, can’t remember who brought it to light.
Maybe @David Young ?

There are a few online calculators, or you can make an excel spreadsheet to do it like I did.

The benefit is you can have all the ports calculated on one page. It also subtracts squish clearance and piston overall length. Here is what it looks like. This is for an echo 590

Oh and last I checked Shaun didn't openly share his excel calculator.

This is a comprehensive calculator, it is a little more challenging to use. You can save this excel to your computer.

No, I spent too much time trying to explain it to people. Since then it's only became more complicated.

Why not just a degree wheel to start with ,easy enough to make .This one is an adhesive transfer I got from McMaster -Carr,6" .I tried to find it in the catalog but could not find the stock number .It's mounted on a circle made of aluminum .To mount it I made the adapters but you could use a rod coupling with whatever size you need,most likely M-8 for most saws ,cost a couple bucks
