What's on your bench?

[jacob j.]

I know the builders name, DNT know him personally, I got 4 saws in that need reported or rebuilt with new cylinders, 2 others from another ported I know of by name only as well and a 460 Stihl that the owner knew was ported but not sure buy who, oddly the 460 needs a new bottom end but the top end held together well, the 460 work is very clean and I have a feeling I know who ported it by work. I was curious if anyone knew why someone would grind the uppers that way, figured maybe learn something new.

I think they’re trying to get the charge started in the right direction. But with the exhaust pressure still higher than the case pressure you can see them back feeding

There was a long-time builder here who was doing that - he claimed the higher velocity pushed the power band up by 3k, but what he really did was make a high-revving saw that had no torque. I've got several of his cylinders here and they're pretty much paper weights. They've got huge intake ports as well.

Very Nice.

Thank you !

Shes all back together now, going to try getting a few tanks through her tomorrow

Pics of others. I think I remember hearing about it.

HL supply has interrupted my afternoon nap.
Ordered a carb yesterday so i figgured today i would have nothing to do after work and could get a short nap.
But no, i hear something at the front door. My carb is already here.
That's fast delivery, maybe too fast.

Thanks HL supply

Now i have to go to work, again.

A little big for the bench but adjusting the fuel pump a little and a full grease job

Finally got the head bolts after a month of waiting for my buddy's generator. Head is back on finger tight ( gotta bring my torque wrench home from work) once head is torqued and the valve clearances are set, I just need to reinstall the muffler, carb, air filter housing, etc and get it running and tested. Also changed the oil and filter.

Owner says he wants them all "hotter" after they are running right.

192??

 

[tickbitintn]

192??

That needs carb rebuild, wouldn't idle for more than a few seconds but would run on choke and revved up once started.

I would doubtless get that wrong.
It looks like a lot of work is ahead though.

I would have bet the 192 had bad crank bearings

That's pretty cool I love working on those old Cat engines. I have many years rebuilding those 3406B,C &E engines .

Let me know if you have any fuel pump questions or timing advance questions.
