What's on your bench?

[Onan18]

rusted?

Yes sir, selector rusted solid. There was little to no grease in this thing when it came in. What you see is grease that I added and ran it trying to get it to free up. No such luck so out it came.

Yeah... well... once you start grinding, you get to thinking how much better it will go if you take a bit more out, and then you see a bit more that needs to come out, then you figure it will flow better if you take that bit out, then you have a big pile of shavings and a ported saw

 

[dustinwilt68]

I understand, you are already there might as well take it to its full potential. Just messing with ya.lol

I know
I never cut the base or the band if that counts?
left the squish at .030 after a gasket delete

That may change when I get a lathe.

If I had the skill, tools and knowledge I would do the same, but sense I dnt I have to pay for my saws to run so damn good, bad for my wallet but it helps others and the economy,plus I get to know all you guys this way. I tip my hat to you guys that accel at this, it is an art form in itself. Please keep up the good work, and keep posting pics for me to drool over.

It will still have plenty of compression. 181 cylinder will make 185-190 with gasket delete.

Shindaiwa 575. Talk about tight tolerances. Had to heat the piston to get the wristpin in. Then hot finger it together without losing the wristpin bearing bushings.

A lot of the Shindaiwas were like that, and I never understood why. The German and Swede saws work fine with a wrist pin that slips in and no thrust washers. Pushing the pins in and out with a tool is not fun.

42 special, started with 11th in squish, sanded the squish band, looks better now...


Got an msg from my dealer today, 242 parts has arrived and as always, I bought 4 each of the seals and a few chain protection plates

Tor, I have tried every which way to keep the plasti gauge stuck to the piston instead of the jug. Its prolly 50% stuck on the band. How do you do it?

John, sometime 50% get stucked on the band for me also, sometime I get lucky and they all are on the piston.
I consider to oil the squish band a tad and see if it help.

Try some 'Silicone" grease on the band. That stuff is as slippery as snot on ice !!
