Porting a AM 064 cylinder

I'll check compression in a little bit,I haven't tried the decomp but it feels like 170lb

 

[jmssaws]

It's better than I thought,it will gain a little more cause it's only ran a minute.
Decomp is plugged

Nice. After the rings seat it builds more compression?

Maybe a few more pounds.
I think if you do it right they seat very fast.

Ok..Thanks. When my father used to build a car motor, once complete he would get the engine to operating temp then hit the gas from nothing to wide open several times until everything was seated and ran well. Open headers of course. Ground would shake. Something you never forget. He used to tell me the rings are now seated. Lol.

I start a saw just to make sure it will run then kill it after a couple seconds.
The next time it runs will be wfo in wood
They seat pretty fast. Way less than a tank if you do it right.

What brand AM head was this?

It's a cheap no name from amazon.
I'm getting another one to take farther.

Comparet it, if you would, to this one. Hope its not an anomoly and they cast them all that good. I've got my fingers crossed but also have my doubts.

 

[jmssaws]

I got some run time on it today.

In almost every video you do, after every cut, you stop for a moment and look off into the distance....what are you looking at?

Nice saw.

Nice saw.

I turn my head and listen to the saw.

I turn my head and listen to the saw.

Well that's much more anticlimactic than I had hoped

 

[jmssaws]

I'm constantly listening for any sign of lean.

Nice old school tuning!
No tach necessary.

 

[dall]

that thing runs good and sounds good

 

[MustangMike]

What size bar is that Jason, and what kind of wood? Saw looks and sounds just great!

 

[jmssaws]

20" bar wood is lob lolly pine

I checked it with a tach after that,it was dead nuts 14000
I set the high by ear,I tend to always be around 14000. The saw is plenty rich at 14 and if it was mine that's where it would stay.

As always Jason excellent work!!! I love watching your builds. Is your brother into saws as much?
