If the link doesn't work, type in "how to measure squish on a chainsaw" into google. The vids can explain it much better than we can typing it here. You're ideal squish would be .020
0.02 is about right with the gasket, if more then remove the gasket.
Measure it without the gasket. Use the gasket if the squish is less than .02 without it.
It has arrived. Looks real good. Piston and cylinder is very smooth, no casting needing trimming from the intake, etc. Notice that the piston is a flat topper whereas the original has a dished top. Higher compression? I'll pickup some Hi-Temp Instant Gasket tomorrow morning and start in on this reassembly.
See the dual set of rings. They are thinner then the originals, so maybe over all they work together to work as well as the one, or maybe better?
There is the arrow on top of the piston. That points to the exhaust port, correct?
The casting flash in the lower transfers should be cleaned up. I can't tell for sure but the bevel on the uppers doesn't look the best either. Tough on the new rings.
If you put this thing together without doing a pressure vac test, you’ll be very disappointed and tearing it down again. I’ve done dozens of these and they respond well if you don’t cut corners. Lots of good advice given, they are the best firewood saw made, and I’m a Stihl guy.
So what exactly have you been doing here the last four years Bill?!??I can only imagine what that is, and I'm certain I don't have the equipment. I'll just boldly proceed and see what comes of it all.
Google pressure vac test and learn, might just save you some time and money. Don’t say we didn’t warn you. Actually, I’ll post a link and make it easy for you, you’re welcome.I can only imagine what that is, and I'm certain I don't have the equipment. I'll just boldly proceed and see what comes of it all.
Glad you’re not working on my equipment. LolI can only imagine what that is, and I'm certain I don't have the equipment. I'll just boldly proceed and see what comes of it all.
