Merry Christmas! Cut your piston skirt to match what you have done with the cylinder lower transfers, heat treat the piston to help with toughness and I'll bet you will be happy with the results.
Add aluminum weld to the inside of the piston to gain insane torque! Maybe a 25% increase in weight would do the trick. Merry Christmas to you and your family
This is certainly one of the most interesting projects I have seen in your videos. Thanks Tinman. May you and your family have a very blessed Christmas and New Year's holiday!
Just porting my g444 ms440 clone I got for Christmas, the wife owns a nail salon and gave me a nail drill with carbide bits and WoW! does it work good for porting, very compact for reaching in the cylinder.
Merry Christmas Tinman hope Santa was good to your family. I could really really use an updated version of your opinion on hyway vs meteor stuff. I’m buying a 52mm kit for my jred 625ii and I just wanted to know if anything has changed since your last video on them. Thank you so much for years now of absolutely killer content!
You could do it if you stuffed the cylinder full of tissue paper, but I wouldn’t advise it, as any metal shavings you miss could ruin the piston and cylinder. Possibly the bearings also.
Hey Tinman i have a question for you, im rebuilding my ms201tc and w/o a base gasket my squish is at .016...with motoseal +.003 it should put me at .019 squish, would that be too tight on this little of saw? You always say that .020 is perfect, so genuinely curious on your input on my question, and whatever you say im following!!! :)
Question for you. I just rebuilt a 562xp, i sanded out the transfer with 320 from the cylinder and went over the walls with 600 grit. I sanded out and polished the exhaust port, and I put in a new meteor piston assembly. I fueled it with husky premix fuel this morning, fired up on second pull, let it idle for 6 minutes to retune itself and it sounded great. I came out a while later, let it warm up for a minute or two, then did the high tune reset rip cutting into a log. Seemed great. Cut into a 24 inch log to cut off a round, seemed to be cutting well, saw shut off suddenly on its own tight as the log round came off. Let it cool for a bit, pulled the muffler and new piston is scored. Was the cylinder just bad or did i mess up by running it too hard or did i not rework the exhaust bevel enough?
What does the scoring look like? Is it scored on the exhaust/intake side? Or all around (we called it four cornering) I would guess it four cornered, as it was new and probably a little tight. This is normally caused by the piston heating up before the cylinder, and generally happens within the few first cuts if it’s not warmed up enough. The aftermarket piston could have been a hair too snug also.
@@ryanfriars545 its center of exhaust side, and looks like a ding on the top edge like the piston slapped the bevel of the exhaust port on the way down. the old one was completely tore up on the exhaust side with just a heavy wear line center of the intake side. I will also note, i do not have the tools to air leak check it, but i am working on figuring that out and testing it for air leaks before i pull it all back apart, so i havent pulled it apart to inspect all of the damage. I was reading that i perhaps should have added a few oil drops to the premix fuel to increase the oil content. I was actually a little concerned the piston ring was a little loose, with how easy it was to get it into the cylinder by hand and using my fingers to push the ring in.
Reed inducted engines don’t allow any of the fuel/air mixture blow back out of the crank case as the piston travels back down, and are far superior to engines without. My only guess as to why they don’t use them anymore is probably due to cost of production. Would be sweet to see someone come out with a factory saw with them in there.
Merry Christmas tin Man! May your family and you have a fabulous Christmas and holidays. Be safe my friend

Especially when you run em on fuel for hillclimbs @@tomintexas817
Merry Christmas and happy new year. Was wondering if you have a carburetor for a 272xp that you might want to get rid of?

General question Tinman, is it possible to smooth & polish an exhaust port without disassembling your engine?
You could do it if you stuffed the cylinder full of tissue paper, but I wouldn’t advise it, as any metal shavings you miss could ruin the piston and cylinder. Possibly the bearings also.

I personally stay away from premixed fuels also. I’ve seen and heard a lot of people with bad luck running any of it.

Update: crankcase and cylinder passed vacuum and pressure tests. Took me some time to make blank offs to seal it.
Do you got any Husqvarna 3 series saws for sale?
Dig the videos
If reed saws are so much better, how come they quit making them? Genuinely curious now!!!

@ryanfriars545 yeah I completely understand how reeds work, i was questioning why the chainsaw world moved away from them :)
And I agree it would be awesome if one of the big names came out with a new reed saw :) I'd bet money every saw porter would be in line to buy them!
Merry Christmas
