Miller Mod Saws and the CS-500P Echo!

[Miller Mod Saws]

All right Ya'll might find this interesting. When I epoxy an intake. I make these little plastic pieces about .4mm smaller than my bore. Than I put an index card covering the intake and usually one on exhaust side as well. What ever it takes to make it fit really snug. That way when the epoxy dries I can just pull this and rip off my index card. Nothing sticks and it's super close to the bore size.

Bad ass tip right there!

And here's the epoxy in. I use an inverted bit and kinda put dove tails in the bottom along with grinding it and cleaning the crap outta it. This go I'm trying some of the morso/eldeebrock a/b epoxy. We will see how it turns out. Supposedly it sets in an hour. On the devcon I fill it and am constantly pressing down on it as it dries to make sure I get all the voids out. This stuff that's not so easy.

On the last three I did I just used JB Weld. I put masking tape over the port, on the plating, and poured it about half full.

Well Carl, I cut the squish on a 7° taper, and took out .030". Then I took .040" off the base.

That sounds easier. Lol. I bought this a/b stuff so I'm gonna give it a try. Initial thoughts I like the devcon better. Lol. But we'll see how it turns out. Lol.

Ok. Made the corners a tad tighter. I'm with ya. I was gonna do 6° but wanted to keep it easier to measure. Just in case. You took .005 more off the base than I did on saw 2. We're close lol. Depending on squish I'd say net 215 comp. Am I right so far. Lol. I'm listening. I like the 7 degrees. Did your intake land roughly at 87?

I've been doing a bunch of other stuff. I haven't put a wheel on it yet.

First thing after feeding in the morning.

That a/b stuff is already hard as a rock. They wernt bs-ing when they said 1 hour set up time. Lol.

I have a cs500 that mweba did a couple of years and I run a 8 tooth with .325. I have a 16" 3/8 but I think it is faster with the 8 pin and .325.

Pic of the epoxied intake. It's width is at 62% and as I was coming down I got the center just a tad low at 76 but that's ok I made her pretty by just sweeping it up to about 74.5 on the corners. It should still tell me what I need to know! And don't be deceived. It looks like it sweeps a lot but that's just the epoxy and angle messing with ya. Shoulda took a pic with a ring pushed up in there!

I didn't mess with the intake.

I didn't mess with the intake.

I didn't on saw 2. I set the trans at 123. And got the covers glued back on. Tomorrow I will raise the exhaust up to 108.
So final numbers will be 108/123/75ish! I will grab some pics tomorrow when I get the exhaust done.

 

[Mastermind]

I'm at 108/125......and wherever the intake landed.

 

[Mastermind]

Compression is at 195psi. Remember, I'm at almost 2000 ft above seal level.

I like it. I couldn't decide weather to raise the trans or not. So what the hell! 15° blowdown sounded good! Lol. Your at 17°. Where's the sweet spot. Lol. Saw 2 is really close to yours at 108/124/ and where the intake landed.

Carl, did you plan some time for testing today?

Carl, did you plan some time for testing today?

I did. I just got back in but I'm gonna go back out as my vid sucked.

 

[Mastermind]

I'll be running the one I have here some today, and even more tomorrow. The weather is supposed to be beautiful......so we are gonna make firewood.
