Nice gains.
Poor saw at the end of the 1st video.

They are infamous for falling over lol

Always makes me laugh.
It’s a tool
I don’t worry about a pipe wrench falling on the ground when I set it down. Lol
Stihl says, let’s make it fatter so it won’t fall over...
Husky says let’s make it sexy and nimble...
I like sexy!

Be nice to your tools and your tools will be nice to you!

 

[Moparmyway]

Thanks!
I had some direction from some good dudes here

Where did you end up with the timing, and did you take any pictures along the way ?

Looks like some super angle on the trans.

Yeah
That was roughed in
I didn’t take pics when done...
Much flatter roof on primary, secondary I did leave some angle toward the chamber.

Best way I’ve found also

I’m still spearminting...

I do have a question, and not just re: Dan's work, I see it a lot … Why is everyone so concerned about not making the exhaust roof too flat, but then they make the floor flat? Isn't the ring just as likely to hang going down as going up???

IMO, a good bevel is the most important thing.

In your mind Mike, ask yourself the following questions:

How wide is the exhaust opening ?

How wide are the transferr openings ?

Are the transferr openings actually flat ?

What velocity is the exhaust opening seeing ?

What velocity are the transferrs seeing ?

What is the exhaust trying to do as it crosses the opening ?

What is the charge trying to do as it crosses the transferr openings ?

You are right Mike, you can hang a ring on the floor of the exhaust too.

It's an optical illusion due to the angle of the cylinder. The floor is rounded, too. Or at least it should be

Say you have a really wide and flat exhaust, but you put a hefty bevel on to compensate. This may not hang a ring but is very hard on them to slightly open in a port and have the bevel push em back in.
I also think you lose a little with a big bevel. Exhaust likes a crisp opening, double edge sword though

Bout the same

 

[Wolverine]

Awesome job there!

 

[MustangMike]

Kevin, I think you went way beyond my question, but Deets makes some great points regarding bevel. I do not try to make the exhaust port roof flat, but I arch it less than some others do. I also ALWAYS make sure the exhaust floor is beveled properly.

Sometimes it may be an optical illusion, but I've looked at a lot of cylinders, both stock and ported, and the exhaust floor is often nearly flat while the roof is arched, and it just makes me question why???

And not that I have that much experience, but I have seen several rings that hung on the exhaust floor (only one that I did, and the rod bearing was going on that one) and have never seen one hang on the roof.

I'm just trying to share my observations and learn a little, I don't have the answers, just lots of questions!

Full comp, ash.

 

[MustangMike]

Looks good Dave. Is it your saw??? Hope to see it at a GTG in the future.

Thanks Mike, yes it’s mine.
Was going to sell it recently, glad I didn’t.
I have another in the works that will be a bit spicier, haven’t had garage time in a while.
