Play time?

[Red97]

High hopes for this one...

Wait maybe I shouldn't say anything.


Yep, not saying any thing.

Just some hammer and chisel work, nothing to see here.

Are these all being built with aftermarket topends? Is there a option of getting a oem kit if you are building them with am p&cs? As always very nice work.

Joe has been using a little bit of everything to experiment, to my knowledge. But I wont speak for the man, I'm sure @Red97 will be around at some point!

Thank you.

A few have been good used oem top ends

This last batch has been aftermarket.

Oem is an option but adds 250$+ to the price. Stihl is mighty proud of the p/c kits.

That is all discussed with the customer when they order.

Now truthfully, these am jugs weld 10x better than the used oem. Don't have years of oil baked into them

I figure if the plating will hold up to the welding/porting it should hold up in service. Throw in a meteor piston and caber rings, seems to be a very solid option.

These am castings are thicker. More room to move/shape the ports.

I've got over five year's on some of
Bat country's finest 372s mostly.
They still running all the shiny stuff still in place.

They have yeller saws now.

Where's this Bat country you speak of?

[Red97]

All 4 cylinders ported.


Time to split the case, make room for the 54mn slug.

 

[Red97]

What do you use for splitting cases

Husky splitter

 

[Red97]

Since I had to split the 54mm anyway.
Figured I may as well match the transfer tunnels to the piston. Then I could match the case to the cylinder.

See if it likes the extra volume.


All the 52mm are matchedd to the base gasket.

Mufflers...

1 of 4 done.

[Red97]

Prolly whatever you want to run on 79 and 86cc

Dot dot dot.

May need some supplement oil though on the longer bars

 

[HYPERSAWS]

Nice work. I can't wait to try one of your builds
