Well guys, Looks like I got my work cut out for me with the 066. I ran it some yesterday and thought it was lacking..... just didn't realize how much until I done some timed cuts this morning. I put a lot of time in the 066 cylinder. All saws are wearing the same bar and chain, and all saws have 7 pins. Wood is either a Black Oak or a Burr Oak, haven't investigated it the see exactly which one it is, but its fairly hard.

By my watch, the 066 averaged 20.32. The 372XPW averaged 16.02. The 395 averaged 15.49.:msp_confused: Back to the drawing board.......

Well Durand I don't know what to tell you besides that 372 is doing great. Teh 395 would probably pull an 8 pin with that bar pretty good and maybe pick up some time. Only way to find out is try. The 066 might need some more compression.

Yeah the 395 would pull an 8 pin fine, on the last cut with it I was pulling up fairly hard just to see what it would do. I got a new gauge, the 066 is a hair over 185. All the others is about the same.

Now you see why I like your 395 so much!!!! That 066 ain't there yet bit I'm sure you will figure it out.

I like that 395 too, except it feels like carrying around a boat anchor lol. Funny thing, the 395 is turning less RPMs than any of them :msp_confused:. Its barely bumping 12,500 out of the wood!

Durand what numbers are you using?
Well maybe you can try what we talked about on the phone for it. That would be my best guess right now. when I get mine together we can see how it will turn out. I would guess the compression is going to be up around what that one is. I seen the log moving a little bit when you were pulling up on the 395.

I think I know what they were. I didn't drink too much last night to forget it that quick.
LOL, But I think I told ya wrong on the transfers after I got to thinking about it. All these numbers on these saws start running together, I cant remember whats what unless I write it down!

395's rule! Too bad about the 066 though.

Tall transfers and big compression will bring that saw alive Durand. I wanna see you win this build off, you're a hell of a saw builder IMHO.

I've never done an 066 Randy, but that's what I hear and have thought about those. The 395 on the other hand is much different, at least how I do them. I don't raise the transfers at all on 395's, they don't have much blowdown.

The saw has a Stihl branded cylinder, Not a Mahle. Stock timing was 97/166 Exhaust, 123/114 transfers, 80/160 intake. The exhaust port had an ugly bevel, intake port had an ugly lip,,, removed both those and raised the transfers. Now its at 96/168, 118/124, 81,162.
Randy, I tried calling. If ya get time holler back in the next couple hours.
Ive kicked around the idea of raising the transfers some more, because they open/close progressively. From cracked open to fully open is quite a few degrees. I got a few more things I wanna try too. I may end up looking for another cylinder before long haha.
