Like I said.......this is just the rough in. I use a fluted milling bit to rough it the cylinder walls. I just take about .080 off here. I've found that raising them too much is going backward in this saw.....at least the way I port them.
I would drive to Tn to watch and learn.

BTW.....this saw belongs to Mtrees. It's one of the new 375XPs we've been selling.
Since this is a XPW cylinder we have to open the main transfer tunnel up all the way from the base to the upper entrance.

The 50mm 372 jug has much larger main transfers than the 51.4mm jug. After I open them up down through the tunnel I cut the uppers back toward the exhaust port about .100 angling in toward the exhaust. This maintains the direction the factory designer intended but allows more flow.

The XPW is one saw I do that loses a ring. The lower ring interferes with widening the secondary transfer so it gets tossed.....

Why would anyone at AS be interested in a monkey's porting work? "It's just a fad", remember!:jester:

Here's an old pic showing the restriction in the main on the XPW....
Ok, I'll throw the flag. You used the word MILD in your description of a Mastermind ported 372xp. I ran yours at Terry's, my buddy ran it enough to call it his. Neither of used the word MILD. On a positive note, his wife told him to send his to you since that seems to be what he talks about.

I'm sure you're right.......a passing fad.
It ain't quite passed just yet though.
You guys that port saws throw some stuff out there......I sure don't know everything, and would love the hear opinions, ideas, mild criticism.
These are just the aluminum chips that landed on the bench.......there was a bunch in the floor.
If anyone is interested I'd be happy to share......
Please do!!!

Well Shea......when I say that I have a MILD approach to these saws, what I mean is that my timing numbers and the way I do the lowers is very different compared to some others I've seen.

Do I mention that I've tried hogging the transfers out before?
This jug is from a saw that hung a ring......:msp_unsure:
