For sure do a thread. I see some good compression coming from that project.

Compression is too easy on a 460/046. Taking .035 from the squish band gets me over 200psi easy.
From what I have read, I believe the 064 piston will provide more compression and has longer skirts.
However, is it heavier? If so, will this effect performance & or longevity??? Or has it been proven to work "just fine" in real life?

Finally got around to taking a pic of next project. Not much, made from spares...
sounds like a good thread and a strong running saw!

That is a beauty Randy! It is probably a lot more practical to just buy a ported saw from one of U guys, but I'm just a little slow at figuring these things out!
I've already had to change engines on my project saw. The one I had pictured in the case didn't have a nozzle for the oiler so I had to go to a slightly more corroded one. I'll get it cleaned up though..
I feel like the goldfish right now, looking at that 460
the saw kitty dont gots much money in it right now
I know what you mean, I'm drooling, but I really don't need 2, and it as almost just too pretty! Besides, I need to get a splitter, don't think the big Maple I got lined up to take down is going to be as easy to split as the Oaks I took down last year.

If i want to lower comp on the hybrid will throwing a base gasket in there do enough to notice ? Or will that mess up port timing ? Feels like i am going to rip the pawls out sometimes if it is on comp stroke when pull it over ,lol
sure you do, you need 2 of them! You have 2 10mm 044's
You can always buy a splitter later, down the road.

Use a piece of flashing.......about .010 and seal it on both sides.

I just finished porting an 046 the other day, and yes it sure does throw them chips!
Numbers ended up at
Exhaust-97
Intake-82
Trans.-118
064 piston without cuttin the skirts, so it I had to lower the intake a lot to hit 82. I actually ground through floor a little
By the way this is the first saw the I ported, I think it turned out pretty good.

Anyone else see the mouse jump out of the log about halfway through!? 
Nice job, sounds good. I'm gonna watch it again!
I saw it the first time, just did not realize it was a mouse! Cool!
