Hyway 660 cylinder kit review

[watsonr]

Howdy,

Glad you like it. It's taken me a lot of years of pushing, pulling, and prodding on a shoestring budget to get to this point. No, they're not quite there yet but, we're getting closer all the time. If you have a stock bore kit there, and the exhaust port has been raised with a shortened piston, something is wrong. That set up was just for the big bores where the crankcase has random clearance issues with the piston. Doing it to a standard bore would cause you to lose displacement for no reason.

Since no one else will say it, I will.

Gregg,
I think you may be mistaken, this in not a kit supplied by Bailey's.

Test mule is here.

Nice, here we go!!!!

Jeremy, those two junk kits were received and sent back. Thanks!

Howdy,
If they're coming from Hyway, they're the kits we've been developing all along. Seriously, after seeing all the aftermarket kits from that end of the world, you really didn't think there was somebody that pulled that quality out of their ass, and you just happened to fall back in it.

Just curious why Hyway kits aren't listed on the Baileys site? Are they labeled NWP? If so way are the NWP kits I see not nearly as nice?

Heads up on Far Eastern Business Philosophy?

The interactive working relationship of Hiway and Bailey's concerning the refinement of after market cylinders over the years . . . and then for Hiway to openly market the product to everyone, goes to show the typical business model of that part of the world?

There is no such thing as intellectual property?

And since you have put all that work into them, why the switch to Raisman for the NWP brands? All that work and only two suppliers in the US that I can see, why not you?

Howdy,
I'm positive they come from the same place. We sell them under the NWP Brand. Just about every time I have them run a batch, they get improvements (knock on wood) implemented. So almost every time we get our orders in we have to place the new product on the back of the shelf until the current generation sells through. I think the worst overlap I had was 4, or 5 months. So I can see where there can be slight discrepancies between something fresh off their shelf, and something off of ours but, in most cases it shouldn't be night and day. You really do need a scorecard to see who's doing who over there but, we knew that going in so it's not surprising.
I hope people don't take this as sour grapes because competition is what makes the world go around. Whether it drives quality up, or prices down, I think it makes things better for all of us. With the current economic climate, as long as our sales keep growing, it's status quo. If I feel things are slipping, I either have to increase quality, or decrease prices, or both. So far, we've been constantly improving them. I was the one who got them together with Meteor. I think it was a win for everybody including end users.

Gregg

Howdy,
We are going to be maketing Raismans full line of products. The quality, and support of their individual products will stand on their brand name. We don't have any plans to change our manufacturer for our NWP product.

Will this be done before the Echo Twin? oke:

anythings possible.

 

[tbone75]

anythings possible.

There is new Echo twin on flea bay right now ! LOL

Thanks Gregg,

I've put the NWP and the Hyways side by side. They seem to look different, weigh different, maybe even perform different? Same production line and made in Taiwan? Would you consider the NWP grade "A" and if so why a 30 day warranty and not more? I appreciate that you weighed in on the thread and applaud you on your efforts to improve the market and quality of aftermarket parts in general.

It almost looked like you tried to take credit for the sale of my product to my customer, as if you provided it....:msp_sneaky: I'm sure if you read the post again you will see where we could be confused.

See what I mean?

See what I mean?

No. You are a middleman. Did you start the Hyway brand? He's not taking away from YOUR sale, he is stating that he developed the product. Big difference.

 

[Grande Dog]

Howdy,
Sorry, it wasn't my intention to sound that way but, I certainly can see your point. Our NWP kits have always carried a 1 year warranty. The Bailey's 30 day satisfaction gaurantee is a no questions asked gaurantee. Which means if you get anything from us. and even you don't like the way it parts it's hair, we'll replace, refund, or credit in full for the item.

Gregg

***** I tried to go back and add a note to this original post to clarify my statement but, the ability to edit must be for a limited time frame.*****

They are both middlemen dude.

 

[huskydude]

They are both middlemen dude.

Yes they are. And one developed the brand.

Here's where I'm at guys.

I'm not sure which set of numbers I don't like the most.

The OEM jug has really high transfers for a 66. Highest I've seen. I checked it several different times, made sure the wheel was zeroed several times, and got the same thing each time.

The highway jug has a lower exhaust, which is a good thing, lower transfers, which I like on the 66, but the intake is crap. Way too low for my liking. Some folks say it doesn't hurt a 66, but I don't like it.


Here is the OEM making a few cuts. 28" 8 pin rim.

This saw was the "Stumping Saw" for a tree service in Salem, VA and has been rode hard and put up wet. I've already helicoiled both muffler bolts in the case, and it has a helicoil for one jug bolt, and I stripped another, so it'll have to be helicoiled before I can run the hyway kit any.

Factory jug had carbon buildup that was .032 thick!! Makes ya think twice about .020 squish

And .010 on the crown.

Back to the hyway kit. JJ nailed it in his first post. Once I slid the piston up in it, it became evident the roof was extremely flat. Hard to tell looking down the bore. The rings slide past it, and I don't feel any resistance from it, and will give it a go as is...u know...for science and all.

So there's where I'm at. Gotta pull it back down, helicoil the jug bolt and slap it back together. Might be a day or two.

And yes Young, I know, I'm slow....
