What's on your bench?

[Redfin]

Tonight was some 288 mufflers.

 

[Brewz]

what type gaskets do you use as crankcase gasket Tony?
I'm in hunt for some 0.3mm quality gasket

Forgot to reply to this mate, sorry

Its Australian made and comes in .025, .04, 1.5 and 3mm
I use the 0.4mm for case gaskets and it works great.
A 1 meter length works out cheaper than buying those nasty cardboard farmertech gaskets at about $2 each

I am ordering a sheet of this to use for exhaust gaskets as well.

Hi Tony , you use 0.4 for case gaskets , whats the OEM gasket size normally

 

[Brewz]

most of the gaskets I have measured have been between 0.3 and 0.5
I dont know if each saw has a specified gasket thickness but I doubt it

thanks tony , how thick can one go on a gasket before its too thick

 

[beaglebriar]

I have a running 353, and one in a basket but mostly complete, they are sure a nice saw!!

I cut with mine today. I'm liking the pop-up, gives it a little more umph. 3/8 chain was a kinda grabby in hard maple but it was big gnarly stuff. Time for a 199 carb I think.[emoji4]

I just measured a used OEM gasket from a 10mm 044 and its just under 0.5mm
a couple different farmertech gaskets measure 0.42
Others I have used measured down around 0.3

I wouldn't go over 0.5 personally

Thanks Tony , that was the info i was after , what if , the saw leaks oil from the case after its rebuilt , with 0.5 gasket

It shouldn't.
If it leaks oil after a rebuild there is damage or the gasket is split
The issue with using gasket too thick is you start changing the distances between cylinder mounting holes, bearing clearances ets.

There is room to move but about 0.4 works fine.
I think husky gaskets are thinner at about 0.3

Tomorrow it'll be Lindsey ' s Audi A6. Thermostat is sticking. *s-wordty thing about that is you have to disassemble the front clip and the accessory drives, so might as well do the water pump, timing belt, the whole shabang

so new case ?

Putting one of the dreaded oil hoses on my 024 oil pump, I struggled for a bit and thought, bugger it!
I'm going to make a tool to do this easier

Cut a chunk of aluminium and slotted it
Drilled through 4mm hole and then opened one half of the hole to 5mm for clearance.
Tapped the other half to 5mm

Then drilled a 6mm hole down the slot to hold the oil line.

Put in vice and with the oil line lightly clamped I had the pump fitted to it in 3 seconds. It just pushed on without a fight.

I will pm you

Is that the wagon?

No

Almost finished one project to a friend of me, I owned this saw twice and somehow he always demand it back, each time I own it I get one step closer to heathed handles!



His 42 got a Tecomec 242 p&c...


Picked up a few gasket kits for my carb projects....

The super ez that I sold a while ago in mine again through a trade. Needs a good cleaning and oil pump line.

That's some tight packaging. Turbo car?You're going to need more than one can of Redbull.
