What's on your bench?

Currently on my workbench: a reed valve block for cylinders with a round intake. The base is currently a Husqvarna 372. However, the block should fit many other chainsaws or be adaptable. There's still quite a bit of work to do.

The reason for reed valves?

Got lots of new projects today. I don't think this one 350 has ever cut wood. Got lots of pressure and vac tests to do lol

Very nice! Is that a '72?

I remember the days of getting hosed on insurance. I had a '66 Corvette, 425 hp 427, 4 speed, 4.11's, knockoffs as my daily driver in New Orleans in 1995-1996. I was paying $400/month in insurance.

Yup. '72 Rallye. Only made 1 year and took the place of the R/T. I'm lucky it wasn't my tombstone.

Rebuilt a close ratio T-10 for my budget '72 Javelin endurance race project (24 Hours of Lemons). Now I need to build a backup trans.

Asymmetric timing

Are you adjusting the port height or timing a bunch and then using the reed valves to prevent blowback?

That is the idea
