Hi,
I am a working saw modder and have a small saw shop. I do compression work, and all of the other usual modding stuff. I had a saw shipped up to me from CT to look at and rebuild and port. The owner said it was done by a guy in the north west who just dropped off the map. I got the 460 and it was really cooked down, melted piston crown, molten bubbles in the squish band. The modder had a AM big bore on it, ok quality, and he did finger ports from the lower transfers, the work look good. I had a .015 pop up, a base cut, no real timing port changes no widening other than the from the base cut, no polishing but only the finger ports. I have seen these in MX form and have heard of them on saws. Other than more fuel what is the point. It would seem that with no increase in time area with the intake or exhuast it would just act to decrease the speed of the transfers. Some one have some experience or knowledge whey one would want to make these on a working saw?
