I've did it and ain't no biggy.when ya set the cylinder down note where it touches on the cases.there a small like shelf there If I remember it's on the transfer sides.i used a small burr bit and took a little off till it sat flat.could be done with a Dremel also.
Nice! Looks factory.
Yes sir! Totally right. Maybe even a non issue if u used a base gasket. But who uses those anyway?
The spots r very small and ill try and get a good pic for others wer the problem could occur. Im gonna have Dustin do the machine work on this jug for me so we will just clearance the skirt while on the lathe instead of the case. First 2 pics is carb side, second two is muffler side. 
Yup that's the shelf.ive had one that really didn't even bother anything with a gasket.one with gasket delete definitely wouldn't set flat.Yes sir! Totally right. Maybe even a non issue if u used a base gasket. But who uses those anyway?
So is that the only snag using an xtorq head on an OE case that u know of? Ive read a lot on the issue and i just always hear OE head to xtorq case "yes" xtorq head to OE case "cant", but not much description on the issues. And i despise using the C word. I feel that word just means u havent tried hard enough or havent figured it out. Seems to me so far that if thats the only hang up maybe guys have been overlooking saw builds that could have been possible.
Hell ya! Saw didnt skip a beat even once! Nice work Brad! Looks like u need some
Thanks. It is a factory switch off of a newer version of the same tractor. I just had to figure out how to wire it because mine was never factory wired for that. The deck is 10 gauge steel and it has to weigh 100# more than the stamped deck. Crazy heavy
Uses a bit of oil
