Actually, compared to a 361, likely almost all the other 60 cc saws seem like "bricks"!

The MS361 handles quite well, despite the inboard clutch
Have to disagree with ya there bro...:)

I agree, and the 560xp definately handles better than the 361 - but the 361 still handles well for a saw with an inboard clutch.
 
Here's some pics of what Jon has been doing.

First he heats one side so it's hot enough to just drop the bearing in the pocket.

Then he lets the bearing soak some heat out of the case half.....and then he slips the crank in.

Installs the gasket......

And heats the other half.

Slides it on.......bolts it all up.

And then centers the crank up with a brass hammer.

What I've gathered over the years from this forum and personal use. Someone correct me the things I'm wrong about.

A. Fast stock
B. Large gains from muffler mods
C. Medium gains from compression increases.
D. Small gains from porting after above mods.

A. 2nd quickest husky stock
B. Small gain muffler modded
C. Nice gains as compression is increased
D. Basic porting small gains
F. Large gains combining finger porting with basic porting.
 
I get a big set of crappy diamond burrs from ebay sellers. Buy several and throw most of them away.

I use the Alumihog burrs to cut thru the plating. I normally use at least 1 a day, and sometimes I toss two.

CC sells really nice diamond burrs, so far I haven't been able to wear one out and they don't clog up with aluminum either.

Those alums hogs from buckeye are nice but I try not to let them hit too much plating as they will dull quickly. I'll use a double cut to get through it first. The single cuts are a good in between and leave a really nice finish, they are great for transfers as they don't carter as much as double cuts.

BTW. Where are you getting your carbide through now? The buckeye site has been down for a few months.
