👍👍 been debating to cut the piston/cylinder skirt for a while. Food for thought…at bdc, the piston is no longer pushing anything up the transfer. My thought is to measure the square surface of the transfer/s and be sure there is always at least that much during the downstroke. Granted, mixture is coming from everywhere in the crankcase so concentration on just the cylinder wall will still be over doing it…even using that “formula”. I would imagine folks eventually figured out, taking it to the base just eliminates additional measuring and gets the job done.
Clever "Mandrel" A LOT easier than the bar stock machined to slip fit & slot for a cutting tool I did....and they prolly end up with the same result :)
I bought a 2 inch sanding pad for a drill then ground it down to 48mm to sand the squish in a couple of 48mm saws. 2 inch is very close to 50mm so it would work for a 372 as is. It was 10 bucks and came with a bunch of disk.
👍🏻 buddy!!!! My G372 is built very similar to yours. The FT cylinders are petty nice to work with. I think you'll have a very strong runner there 💪🏻and can't wait to try it out. Sticky sandpaper is very handy to have around.
Yeah, it didn't give a nice flat squish all the way to the edge, but it did cut through all the plating and made it much easier for me to cut with the mandrel.
If the piston goes out of round because you hacked off half the skirt HAHAHAHAHHAAA (this channel is fun) Oh wait, it's under the pin so it will RIP THE FREAKING PIN OUT split down the lower middle and remain at the top of the cylinder -"Chrome Dome Blown" will be it's new name. LOL Loses the whack off but thinks it won anyway "chrome dome blown" ahahahahahaha Good luck
🎉🎉🎉🎉Race saw action!!!!! Can't wait to see you at Sawfest!
Oh no! You're gonna be there! Hahaha! Me too.

Don’t sell yourself short on this build. You’ll do well I think 👍🏻
Come on doug don’t let them off so easy I like give them a hard time 😂
That other cylinders transfers had cracks in same place the other did lol
I can't wait to see it run. I'm sure it will be a screamer

👍🆙D
@@novicelumberjack definitely makes it easier to get thru the plating, sometimes that stuff is laid in there thick 😆 🤣
@@Doc-Cole_Trickle-of-Chainsaws good morning buddy 👍🏻 I am up from my power nap and not ready to roll haha
@@dubbssawshop Good Morning T-Dubb!
Cutting cylinder skirts will make better flow.
Go for it! 👍👍
I'm goin!
Rock on dude
Those cylinder cracks were interesting to see.
Turned out that they were like that on the Farmer Tec cylinder too, just not NEARLY as bad.
@@novicelumberjack dangit I was really looking at the 372xp cloner now I'm going stihlborn
Good R&D platform 2 experiment on!
Hooo...o!
Yep, if I screw it up, literally no one cares. Not even me.
@@TightWad1 HOOOO!
Do a 2 piece cylinder.... you got the lathe. Let's see you attempt!
Not allowed for the race I am competing in.
@@novicelumberjack ah shucks..... but would def like to see your journey to get something like that going. 🤞
Thanks for all the educational content!
👍🆙BigGuy
Doc!
@@novicelumberjack Wuz🆙
@@novicelumberjack Getting close to 8K!
Sounds like a good plan👍🏻
Time will tell. I may not get top five, but it should make for a good runner.
It is not cracks. It has every single one.
Yeah, I noticed it in the Farmer Tec cylinder too, but not nearly as bad.
Thumbs 👍🏽
Again , how. Do you get 1.1 likes ?
You got me man. UA-cam does some weird stuff!
