White pine also cuts like balsa.

But all the Poulan Pro Joes will get their minds blown watching it.

Must be TN speedwood! [emoji16]

View attachment 207343 View attachment 207344 I think my oil tank is leaking. That's the 630 I just put up. Passed a vac test this morning.

Crap. And that 42" 590 I just posted also has a Golf piston. I didn't know it was a Golf, but apparently that's what the Duke sells on ebay. It's like 6-8g heavier than stock, super thick, I think I only shaved off 2g with a popup and cutting the side skirts. The pin is shorter too. It has more meat on it than that jonsered piston, so maybe it will hold up?

Did it catch a ring, or was it 100% piston's fault?

The crankcase filled up with oil.

Hmmm...

 

[Nutball]

So, it started then hydro locked? That makes sense. I thought the leak came after the failure. It did run a little smokey a couple videos ago, but not bad.

 

[RI Chevy]

I think in his video cut you could start to see the smoke. Case gasket went bad

 

[Nutball]

The saw was so awesome, it blew the case gasket

 

[Ronie]

I fired it up to check the oiler, revved it a few times and bam, that was it. No smoke before hand, I think it let go all at once and flooded the crankcase.

That could of been the start of the gasket going and I didn't notice it.

I zoomed in on the pic. The bottom end is full of oil.

The power of liquid amazes me. Unreal...

Pics of the upper transfers?

I went out and pulled the piston out of the cylinder and I guess I was wrong about the gasket failing. It looks like I lost a clip and the piston pin rode out and caught the transfer. Then the broken pieces of the piston got caught between the counterweights and case and broke through onto the oil tank. I'm pretty sure I installed both clips and they were oem.

That was my guess.
You’ll never do that again.

Bar oil still looks good though



Sorry. Had to

You got that right, good call.
