Ok boys here we go. I promised a build thread on these baby's so here we go. I would ask that you bear with me as I am slow when building a saw for the first time. Wait I'm slow all the time. Lol. Anyway this is my first go at these so please feel free to make suggestions or tell me if I'm headed in the wrong direction. Here's the victims! A pair of brand new 7910s.

Here's the intial numbers. Ex 106, trans are on a slant from 130-132, in 76. The squish is .025 with a gasket .015 without and comp is 165.

And I'm guessing it has something to do with this SLR chamber thingy. But i heated up and opened the muffler up. I cut out the SLR unit but tack welded the flange from it back in from spacing and support. Then the area you see that I open up for the exit in a factory indentation. If you open it up you'll wind up right about 80%.
 
20150216_145113.jpg Ok so I started by cutting .032" off the base and .038" off the squish band. I will be running this one without a gasket. With this amount off I'm getting really close to free porting at the bottom of the exhaust.
 
My plans are for the first saw to gasket match the lower trans, square up and widen the intake just a bit. And set the exhaust at 102 with 27 degree blow down. I take will be at whatever the base cut left me with.
 
I started out by pushing the ring up in the cylinder and marking it at 102 deg and the marked my intial width. I remarked the width a couple times but I ended up about .078 from the skirt edges which give me roughly 60% exhaust to bore size. 20150216_143227.jpg 20150216_130550.jpg 20150216_144232.jpg

20150213_154503.jpg 20150216_145005.jpg On the exhaust side there is a huge amount of blending to do. I was careful not to take any from the floor right at the piston. I may go back in and take the top and bottom slots all the way out from where the muffler slid in but this is a starting point.
 
20150216_152824.jpg 20150216_152829.jpg I have the lower and upper trans marked. I'm not going to widen the uppers as of yet. Just raise them o a flat 129°. I don't want to add to much width on them because of the cranckcase volume. That's sounds right in my head anyway. Lol. And this is as far as I have gotten.
