Nothin like a little head at 2am.

That’s interesting, I believe the last one had a KS jug. Much noticeable difference in the two? Going to be cool to run them side by side and see how they compare!

Yup. The first 064 was a KS. I don’t have any good before porting pics of that jug to compare with the mahle jug. I’ll take a look tonight, I think I have a KS jug for my 064 squirreled away that I can compare.

Is it just me or is that chamber enormous.

My 064 with a mahle jug isn’t very high compression. Maybe 160- 165 ish psi with gasket deleted and I think .030 squish. Runs like a animal though.

I see it now on the big screen and maybe it is just the shadow.

The chamber does appear larger compared to a KS 064 jug. The mahle jug had a tapered squish band. I’d like to of cut the squish band further but because of the the thin cylinder base I couldn’t safely cut it much more.

Retorqued the cylinder and riser screws on my 346xp conversion and tossed the 16" bar and chain on it. Waiting for a new intake boot, partition wall, clamp and impulse hose. Also repaired the rear wiper washer on my Ford Escape which was just a popped fuse from trying to clear ice off the rear glass before it was thawed. Hopefully this rain will let up so I can air up the tires, etc

Combustion chamber of a Stihl branded cylinder for the 064 if that clears up some confusion.

That is actually a KS branded cylinder sir, you can tell by the KS insignia on the base below the stihl logo.

Stihl just likes to put there logo on everything oem even if they didn’t make it themselves. You see it on the carburetors too.

Well that's the thing with all the green peas going on in the Us not to many places make chainsaw parts here.
