Stihl 046/460 D Jug. Are there benefits using it on a 460, or better using it on a Hybrid?

I'll take the OEM piston and don't really care which generation of cylinder it is. It's in the porting, IMHO.

If you had a D jug that timed at
101-120-74 would you machine or port it any different than any other jug?

I would port it the same.

D jugs are good, but Double D jugs are better.

I agree about no added transfers on work saws if
possible.

Your above post was my next question after running a ported 046 today.
272 or 064...leaning to 272 for one of my 046's.

Today a mild to me, ported jug I did real quick last month or so ago, 046 non D is coming around a bit. Did not hone it just ported and finished by hand for a smooth transition at the jug wall. Both rings. It will take 20-30 tanks to seat up. The jug had nice plating, it was on straight and had very nice transfer exits. These transfers are still not flat, no machine work, base gasket delete, no ignition advance, stock carb, port widened to within 3mm on an OEM slug. Lots of intake work but only using about 78* there. It wants more after tank six running a 7pin 28" 050 RS with an HO pump. Muffler is OEM gutted, dual port now and big holes with no screens. It will pull a thirty two with more intake. Chain is grrrrabby off this fresh roll, yeah! Picked, flopped and chopped up a sugar maple about 36 dbh, hard mfer to.
The new piston was a beauty, no toucheded it. It sounds pent up a bit now. Did not raise the exhaust, yet. Saw is out of carb at 2 turns, needs more or a bigger jet and fiddle with the lever height.

Are you guys and gals running the intake baffle plate?
This saw, it is in there.

Four jugs waiting for my hybrid. Cases are go and the bearings were toastededed, fell out. China things they were. China jug to. It ran good considering the bearing cages were long gone, bye bye

Crank is as sweet as it can be. Con rod blue and purple top to bottom. Could be factory, dunno. Time to build the too many hats saw. I got muh spinny thingy so...

Two good and tight OEM 046 bottoms, plenty of jugs and the 044 hybrid for me All mine are getting oversized carbs. It just seems easier than all that reworking one imo.

If a High Bred won’t turn 91dl of chain on an 8pin with authority, you aren’t done.

It was doing ok for very little work inside. He wants it to last forever

I don't care if mine wears out rings. I should go to the 272 slug. May be a 9pin saw

Don't wait till you built right up to the tree

Good to see your back doing some enjoyable cuttin! No bush.


Edit
How'd that get there
