Wow. Bet it pulls that little bar very well!

I tested it with a 24, and it did very well. It will probably pull a 28, but why push it.

With out pulling panels, and giving it a quick whipe it looks good. Top cover had a crack and looks glued back together. So if anyone has a spare let me know, thx.

I hot rodded this one a little bit. I did a little bit to the upper transfers and exhaust. Also was able to delete the gasket. It's pretty nasty, and only has 2 tanks thru it. Compression was at 175 when I handed it over to my dad.

Doing well thanks. Heading to the woods today to run some some saws and fill some trucks. I'd like to see that Farmsaw run, it sounds fun.

Seems to run decent. I haven’t even dumped the old gas out yet. I’ll go threw it this week and check it out. Have a top cover for it mr norton?

 

[rocketnorton]

Glass bead blasted a few things .I normally don't but I like the raw look on the 600. IMO cutting the gaskets is the worst part of any build.

Would it help the bearings to remove the inside dust seal? Thinkin lube would get in easier.

Yep cutting gaskets is a pita sometimes. I would remove the dust shields, it just makes more sense to me.

That Farmsaw case gasket looked like fun.

Lol yeah it was a real pleasure. The oil pump gasket is about the worst though.

You might want to reuse that copper head gasket. Paper won't work as well

It is actually paper its just red . It was leaking on the exhaust side .I am going to try to fab an aluminum one like was on my 14/20 . I will have to fab a punch dieset , but I love a challenge . My material is only .020 verses the .030 paper . It will raise the squish which might be a problem. Thoughts?

 

[Walter Glover]

I bet ally would be great for head gasket
10 thou less squish well not sure but make sure you check it with some solder once together. Not sure what min squish is??

 

[2stroke_shaman]

Walter you jogged the cobwebs in my mind with the copper gasket. I forgot I had this roll . It's .025 and even softer than the aluminum. Change of plans lol.

What do yo guys do with dingy old bars? while waiting for a carb kit to come in for the RA I started cleaning it up a bit. Scuffed it up with some sandpaper.

Always wanted to try cold blueing a stencil on a bar.

Belt sander cleans them up fast, 320 grit and only run the belt lengthwise on the bar, you can nearly duplicate the factory finish this way, coat of clear urethane will keep it shiny for a good spell.
