I give the port a shiny look. When I restore and port, I spend so much time and money on the project that I see polishing the port as the icing on the cake. That said, I get to the finish line faster by using quality burrs.
I think it's a waste of time but it's your time and you can do what you want with it. Running a clean burning oil is way more important. Bone stock saws run on good oil have nice clean exhaust ports...
@@RichFife initially, perhaps a meager 1% gain, Mr. Fife , I DO solemnly agree 👍 with your perspective , however over long term use I’d like to think the benefits of a mirror polish outway the the not so mirror polish. In the end it matters not Fife, after all … it’s only a chainsaw😂
@fabzacres-blackcat right.. I think there are a multitude of other 'items' that also contribute to Carbon build-up... not keeping a tune, oil/gas quality and ratio, exhaust restrictions, how and when the saw is ran... etc etc. I did up a 462 that had 2yrs on it... it was nothing but carbon... I just went through a J-Red 77cc saw that was re-built in 2012 and it had less carbon than the 2yr old 462...

You cut 50 face cord a year, Holy shit dude, that's crazy
I say polish the exhaust port. Helps with flow stop carbon from forming also my opinion a polished exhaust port should be a trademark of a saw porter.
I agree !

No noticeable gains in the cut or on the dyno... 😂😂😂😂
