hi all, im new around here so bear with em. i have recently bought a stihl big bore kit for my 046 and after reading and seeing vids on ported saws i gota have one . im just wanting to do the intake and exhaust now to play it safe. any way the baileys kit i have looks pretty ok. are these in need of much work? if they are , how far on the exhaust , and the intake hole is kind of crappy looking , its round and flat on bottom.(from the outside looking in) its also kind of off center . is that normal.
should i make it round on the outside, there is allot of metal there?
:confused: i have port matched the exhaust , but not changed the inside at all. thanks for any helpful advice.
 
evedently your thread has been overlooked have your tried looking through some of the port threads so good info in there maybe some one will pipe in in a little while with some info on the big bore kits
