I'm not sure about porting the 066 or 660 and getting decent gains.

i have run several 660 066 variants, theres nothing you cant do with a good 32 bar,good chain shaping tech, and a good woods port. i have run a 42 on a regular oiler running thicker oil and it will hold better and not fling off as bad but its just not enough. even the ho oiler is strugling if your really working the saw. just run your bar you got on it throw a dual port muffler and a good woods port and just smile as you throw chips. Even on my wild big bore dual port race ported 066 i only run a 28 cause even though i do big trees its not worth it to me to haul that heavy :censored:er up and down a mountain all day. i cut 4 footers almost weekly with a 28 just cause its light and you cant bog it out. Plus it pisses off all the old boys running there big bars and i still do more board foot a week then them with my 28 bar

I will pay money to see you mill a 40" plus tree with a 32" bar. Video is prefered....

Mainly fir.might be little closer to maily threes but we do get fours But when I'm down in the valley I'm always gettin walnuts and other trees for removals

I was curious about that. I've done a little work in that part of the country and I never got into any four footers. Mostly what we cut were smaller. Are there many three footers and are they fir too?

I've not seen a strong running 660 without lowering the jug and cutting the squish. How are yours done?

They certainly have high ex EH Randy! Just like the dang 390's. I've never degreed an old 066, I owned one for a while stock, and it was a really good runner, it was a old square top with no decomp, I had to sell it though, it was just murder on my hands.

Yeah them old square heads were good. This was a saw I got in a box. But thru some other work I got me a poly flywheel and nolimited coil. Few other tricks around to like the windows on the piston or transfers moved around alittle bit but can't give out all my secrets. I used to have a nitro poulan 33cc saw. See if I can find some of those videos still

That's ok, I don't need your secrets! LOL. I can do just fine on my own.
