That's what I was gonna say. No internet service. His phone number is in his signature line, though. Find any of his posts and you'll have his number.
Scott's a well regarded builder. I'm sure he'll make this right for you.

With ported saws, this stuff happens. The OP, and Tom, need to get together with Scott and get it fixed. I'm not one for looking at a picture and throwing a guess around. But I don't think it's gonna be too hard to fix.

I agree with the above diagnosis. It looks like some foreign material got in there. I would do just as suggested. Send it to Scott. It had 180# of compression when it left here, so I think a lean siezure would take longer than 4 cuts to make it unusable.

Damn! That's not a good first ported saw experience. I'm sure it will be made right for you. These things happen at times on stock saws too. It's just one of those things...

Amen. I'll stand behind him on this one and if anythings my fault I'll make it right, always have always will. I just wish I had cut longer with the saw so that it might have happened with me. Hindsights always 20/20.

We have some damn good guys here. That's for damn sure. If I wasn't so far behind I'd fix it just to take some pressure off of Scott. I know he has a lot on his plate.

Everyone wants a treemonkey 066, it's a badass saw built by the legend of badass saws. When all is said, done & fixed you will put this saw into wood and realise the decision to buy the saw was a good one.

Hopefully it isn't foreign material in there....but if it's a chunk of ring...then there will be a score mark all the way up that side of the cylinder....in which case a new piston will not help.
I just had a ported saw of mine hang....after at least a year of hard use....and not much oil in the mix lol. Cylinder indeed is shot.

Difficult to say on pictures, can be ring or bearings, I got lucky once with blasted con rod bearing, rest has been toasted.
Whatever reason behind this scoring I know Scott will fix it, his reputation is 100%.

I think the OP did a good job here with his attitude in this thread. Perhaps not starting a thread at all would have been better, but even in the title, he's not accusing anyone.
It'd be easy for a guy to be upset in a situation like this, but the OP obviously has a cool head and isn't looking to someone blame.
Like mastermind said, these things happen. I think the OPs attitude is a good step towards a positive resolution.

With the damage centered in the port, looks like a mechanical failure. . . Meaning it caught a ring.
Wish I could say that's never happened to me!
TM is dah man -- this can happen to anyone modifying ports for more go-fast from the angry pixies.
