Will be looking forward to the porting for sure. Have your dad set you up with a square chain as well.

 

[XP_Slinger]

He can run a square chain anytime he wants, so long as he can sharpen it

Thanks! But the porting won't be for a little while. Once I break in the saw and do some cutting THEN i'll port it

Get that 2159 ported and see how she stacks up against your Dad's and my ported 357s!


(It will be closer than you think!)

Austin @ZukiRyder400 great job on your first build and welcome to the OPE family!!! There is a little upgrade your Dad may have forgot about, you can use a 2255 clutch cover on your 2159 and have a better chain tensioner.

Once we ran out of things to install he wanted to check compression...it pumped up to 180psi WITH a base gasket! Out comes the solder to check squish. The band in this meteor cylinder is strange, squish at the outer most edge came in at .030, but the squish in toward the edge of the chamber is only .022. I’ve never seen a squish band that got tighter as it goes toward the center of the piston. Weird, hope it’s not indicative of a bad cylinder.

Check out the profile of the crushed solder

Squish at edge of cylinder

Squish at the edge of the combustion chamber, further toward the center of the piston. Backwards taper???

Ive seen that on a few AM cylinders. It’s not ideal. But it’ll run. You can fix it when you port it. [emoji6]

I sure did forget about that. We’ll get that upgrade done in the future. Thanks Joe!

I figured it wouldn’t be as good as a flat band. I know “a few” guys I could send it to for fixing when the time comes

Yup, if you think of flow, I see it as having to dive and change direction as it is compressed into chamber, so I would think it’s better flat... but who knows. If you want it cut flat I’d be happy to do that for you.

Oh and great job Zukiryder400!
