Saw video thread

Yes it does!! Lol.

Saw runs great ... but that Oak looks like Ash.

Seems like a good runner! I have a 359 sitting here and a 357 cylinder I've been contemplating mating. But it's a perfectly good running saw lol. Just minor mods. And I already have a minty ported 359 so no fun in porting another 359. Seems like the 357 cyl without stuffers runs pretty strong.

I've just got myself a 359 . What's the advantage of going to a 357 piston and cylinder .

More power according to stock specs, but I don't know if the 357 is supposed to have crank stuffers, or if the 395 has them.

The 357 has them...

 

[Nutball]

So, is it worth the cylinder swap without the stuffers?

 

[PA Dan]

I have a ported 359 and it's a beast. Not sure about what the stuffers add on the 357.

 

[Nutball]

Less low end torque, more high end power from what I've heard.

Maybe stuffers give the 357 extry P over the plain 359.

I prefer the stuffed 357. I've run ported example of both. If you like long/wide [lower rpm] torque, go 59. If you like high peak powa, go 57. 2 different reputable porters told me their best job on each would yield the stuffed 357 winning a race.

That being said, I recently mounted a 3/8 x 20 (thanks @Woodpecker ) on my stuffed 357. I had always used an 18 on it from day one. I was very happy with how it handled the 20" in full bar noodling cuts. I was asking it, so to speak, with the dogs. It said YES

I like the saw, but who could like that tree?

 

[Maintenance Chief]

Boy it's a shame that they aren't going to make any more of those or gas powered ones.

No one apparently. Been here 2 years. So Test Log it is

Darn strong Kev!

True 359, same port timing just did something a little different with da transfers.

That's correct info. But, these guys talking about 357 cyl on a 359 (unstuffed 357). Some builders who have done this combo and ported them have had some great results. But any way you cut it, it's all personal preference I suppose.

Knew that.
