Yep. But I have not bought the chain.

I plan on building a 385, 390, and hopefully, a 390 with a stroker crank.

There is room in the case for a bigger crank?

I've got a feller that can make one from billet. I could prolly make one (not sure it would be worth a damn), but he's far more experienced of a machinist than I am.

That's pretty cool! How much bigger will it be? Will you need to raise the jug?

Reminds me of the old Billy Squire tune...

It would add 1mm to the piston height at TDC. By taking .038" out of the squish band it would be at the same squish clearance, but with a lower exhaust. Win Win in my book.

How will the lighter weight of billet affect the saw?

 

[Mastermind]

Not sure it will be any lighter......

 

[Hedgerow]

That's it...

I'm drillin' 2 extra holes in the muffler now...

I like RSC off the roll waaay better than I like Oregon.

They haven't called it RSC in a couple of years - just RS now.

Stihl just loves to confuse people!
