Saw builds

[exSW]

Kind of like tractors,trucks,heavy equipment. A lot of Equipment jockys like to refer to an in frame as "rebuilt". Sorry,if it hasn't seen the machine shop it's not rebuilt.

All semantics.

I thought new stickers and paint is how you rebuild heavy equipment.

It's pretty rare that I just port a running good condition saw.

I get lots of saws in peices that was gave up on or runs but they never could get right.

I prefer to start from scratch because I know exactly what has been done and how it was done.

I'll keep that in mind.

true dat!
hummm, ... Is there another way? I mean barring a new head, rods and crank. We did liners in house. I mean your not taking out a 6Klb+ block that is the frame in a road grater. A "refresher" or "freshen-up" with jugs/slugs, gasket and seals is no problem in house, anywhere really. Toss in a lap and stem seals for good luck ;-)

oh btw always check those valve springs

I'm rebuilding and porting a fine red light 066. Anybody know what caused this?

over-speeding?

 

[RI Chevy]

Wow, no more piston skirts. Lol
WTF?
What did the jug look like?

A very long hard worked life.

IMHO, assuming it had some hours on it, a worn skirt causing excessive piston slap at the right resonance, piston go boom. I've seen it in dirt bikes before.

Ive seen a couple dozen 066/660 do it.

Here's what caused it

Wow!

 

[CR500]

As you stated before an 066 of that age and filter abuse will wear an intake thin and then boom....

These saws are tough J but not that tough. They run a long time with ingestion though.

Will be running a K&N on the 064 soon should hopefully cut down on the fines subject lol. If not.... some of those white filters will surely help.

Have a Maxflow cage made from an old HD1 also made for it.

I see this all the time.
Clean your airfilter men

 

[Time's Standing Stihl]

I've seen people over tighten the air filter and break the mount that the filter sits on. Ingest a chunk of that and it looks like the piston
