.060" pop-up 
Interesting to see how the saw behaves with a pop-up. Sometimes they work really well. I hope the resident clown does us all a favor & takes a long walk off a short plank!

I think once there was the potential for him to get into people's pockets he left mgmt no choice.
Please don`t entice him to come back.
Pretty sure he’ll try anyway.

welded on?
Yes. This is a first for me. It will give me a nice compression increase without any port timing changes.

and how will the heavier piston affect things?
I'd sure try a pop up piston in mine
I'd guess it would make a good gain up here at 7200feet
I would think that with your wider exaust should make good gains but I'd like to see the gains with just the pop up
Hope it works out for you

Hey, currently doing this upgrade on my 462. I'm wondering how you fared with this clutch cover part number. I found a slightly different one through my dealer and am wondering what the difference is. The p/n I found is 1142 640 1701 (as opposed to 1702).
Anyone able to verify the difference in these?

1702 is the part number for the rescue saw version.
This includes:
Wide cover
Big spike for the cover 1122 664 0509
Some extra parts for the rescue saw, that nobody needs

Finally another update. I installed the welded popup piston on Saturday and didn't like the way it ran. So, I went ahead and turned a popup in the original piston. I'm liking this much better and feel good about not having to add the addition reciprocating mass.
Yes it is.
I've begun work on the other 462 I have here. This one is getting similar porting but I will be leaving the stratos intact.

Slight operator error? ( I Suggested )And maybe not.
A combination of other thing perhaps?
It happens to the best of us.
Happens when you reset the dogs low and you apply the same 'strength' you were at the end of the 'throw'. Body leverage thing. If it feels like you are applying the same strength then you have increased the pressure. May work ok to start with that 'strength' in that position in cases but more teeth may soon start entering into play and that's when to ease up a bit(strength) but can again increase nearing the top of the pull (end of throw).
to maintain the same pressure.
He runs different gear all the time so it gets hard to gauge right of the bat. Small saw with small dogs is a lot less leverage from bottom point to the back handle.
He has leverage with that saw and dogs.
I can tell he wasn't used to those dogs yet.
He studded it on the log when he intended to go an 1" or so lower.
Whole different ball game when you increase the dogs alone.
Last two saws I got, one took 60 hours to fully break in the rings. It was night and day. First one even had a broken in bottom end on it already. I had to back off my filing. I almost took of the west coast dogs and went back to regular stock falling dogs as well. 10 days latter everything balanced to where I wanted it. Second one seemed a quicker break in but it could have been the fact I new It was going to break in and be good like her sister saw. Dry wood can play against you too. You put to much pressure on it, It,s LIKE pressuring a dull saw. You can put a lot more pressure on a sharp saw in green wood than a dull saw.
Lots of variables that keep us thinking.
That's cutting. (saws)
If we had it all figured out in a day then we wouldn't be doing it. Where is the challenge in that? Right.
