Ok, so I wasn't sure if I was gonna have time to get this saw done in time. But lo and behold I got to it in the eleventh hour. Not sure if I will get it together and runing before tomorrow (Saturday) but in case I do, I better make a thread.
I had originally intended using the farmertec jug but opted instead for the cross. After some brainstorming I opted for a 288 piston. So MMWS cylinder and 288 Piston.
Jug looked ok. Exhaust roof was flattish.
Band looked good. Transfers were large and needed a little flash cleaned up but overall I was happy and it will work.
The reason I went with the 288 piston was mainly for fingers and it allows me to really widen the exhaust. Pictures to follow.
First up we gotta degree this sucker.
Not So Fast!!!!!!!
Clearance issues presented themselves as well as some excessive lateral movement between the bosses. Let's fix both these issues shall we?
Clearanced the skirts
Made a couple spacers to allow the con rod to locate.
