Stagger the transfers?

There’s only 2 in an xtorq, so tilted.

It’s not really porting for more torque though. I should’ve said ported with a wider flatter curve.

Little of both but focused on torque. It’s a strato so the piston is heavy and they don’t like too many rpm’s. It’ll do great with a 20” and 8 tooth rim

Nice. Is this 2172 the same as 372 in Hoosky?

Same as the 372 xtorq

Thanks for the answer Kevin. Sure makes you think. I noticed the slanted transfers in a ms441 I worked on before.

And what works for 1 guy doesn’t necessarily work for the next. It’s hard enough for the same guy to build two different saws of the same model and have them run the same

TY. So many different variations of saws, etc...

Stock 084 in hard old Eucalyptus. 36 inch 404 bar and Stihl RM chain. This saw is actually for sale: https://opeforum.com/threads/stihl-084av.23409/#post-1198100

WKWS 084 in the same wood, with the same bar and chain as above. This saw has mountains of power and torque! Thanks for the superb port and machine work Tony @Brewz

 

[Brewz]

No worries mate

That lil saw looks like it has some torque. Well done

Wow big difference vs stock. Stock one looked like it was gutless. I guess porting really wakes up certain stihl models?

Porting wakes up some saws ... really ... !!!

Not just Stihls!

Yes, 084's are a great candidate for porting, stock they are OK and are good at lugging down and pulling but aren't exactly inspiring. Properly ported is a different story altogether. I like them because their bottom end is legendary for its strength, in fact the conrod is the preferred choice for 3140 stroker race saws.

Man that saw rips. Kind of makes me want one.

 

[stihl_head1982]

I would say Tom should be a happy man, I know I would be!

 

[RI Chevy]

Nice job Kevin. What's not to like with the 500i. That thing rips. Has good low end grunt too. I'd run it proudly!

 

[Redfin]

Would you run it naked?

 

[MustangMike]

Only if you agree to stroke it for him.
