around here its pills,these bastards around here will steal anything that isnt bolted down and trade it for a pill. but leave a shovel or a rake ,hammer, you know anything that requires effort to use and they wont touch it.
 
I should stay out of this thread but here goes anyway, for all you guys claiming the cut squish band is building torque please understand this. The cut squish band (and pop-up piston) builds COMPRESSION which is the driving factor in building torque.

In my mind it really does not matter how you get 200 psi (or what psi you want) as long as the compression and port timing is there it will make torque.

One of these days I'm gonna learn when to sit in the corner and be quiet............

I'm not convinced that 200 psi is better than 160-170 at all, it may be more about "bragging rights". :givebeer:

As said earlier.

There are very few saw builders..

Most here are just saw modifiers.

Does the truth hurt that much?

Some guys here have too high of an opinion of themselves.

But after 6 plus years of reading some of the drivel they spew, and the self promoting profiteering I just want to puke!

Well I gots a biig bucket if you need to borrow it, please clean it up after yer done:hmm3grin2orange:
 
theres not 2 squirts of piss difference in the performance a pop up and a flat top piston for most saws. some saws require a flat top to get the desired port timing and some work just fine with a pop up piston. if you do a pop up piston you dont have to do nearly as much grinding to get the transfer and exhaust ports back to where you want it. every builder on this site has done pop up pistons and all the sudden now everyone thinks that cut combustion chambers are the way to go. i bet i can build 2 saws and let anyone run them both and you wont be able to tell me which one has a pop up and which has the flat top.
Terry, I agree entirely. I cut the squish band on a 660 this week, but, that was to get the port timing I wanted, just as you mentioned.

Better put your reading glasses on, Old Man;)

You know,

there was a time young folks could learn from their elders.

Guess now you y'all can't learn, 'cause you know everything.


Move forth young man, but remember;


Age and debauchery Trumps youth and enthusiasm every time.
