awesome port work as usual :rolleyes:
I never thought his port work was "awesome". I thought it was good most times but his saws did run well after he got some help. Nothing more to say. My bad, they did not all run well. Many many others here you included do much better work all around. I have seen and I draw my own conclusions.

Sondre, be sure to check out the crankshaft thoroughly in 395 or any of the saws he touched.... The crank in my saw had these weird indents/chips from him splitting the case incorrectly or who knows honestly...Both cranks were garbage in my 394 and 395. Threads were buggered up too on the cranks, sure the saw ran with that crank in it but that's not what I paid or expected in work quality.
Did you replace that crank because of the nick or for some other reason?

Looks like you did a great job and saved another messed up cylinder.

I've bent pure tungsten and I've chipped sides off of gas cups to weld sideways in a tight bore before. I learned to weld at an automotive machine shop welding cylinder heads, sometimes you'd have to chase a crack half way up an intake port. I bought and still use the Lincoln AC/DC Tig 300 sine wave machine I used there when the shop closed down, it rarely gets put on the Max amp setting anymore.

I use the a 3XXL or 4XXL cup and 1/8" pure tungsten to get down into chambers. Mostly to blend the weld into the chamber from welding up a spark plug hole but I have welded in a chamber to make it smaller before.

I normally use a gas lens and 1/6" 1% lanthanated.

Here is the blended spark plug hole and a little chamber fill of a 046 cylinder. It's really tough trying to add filler to the weld and not your electrode when down in a bore like this. I sometimes have to bend a little hook in the filler tip to reach the tight spots.

If I had to start over again I would have just bought a new saw. Honestly the amount of money, time and aggravation that was spent was not worth it for me. Almost every single mechanical item was buggered. I can only imagine how fustrated Sondre must be having brand new Dolmars boogered up.
