O.K... now I see it. Heck, I'd make an adapter (block of T6061 Al) tapped for the decomp), then just tig the insert to the cylinder. Might spot face the old area first and pin it in place.

Is that casting 6061? What heat treating?
Sounds great in a enclosed barn. Need to get that Aspen, reminds me to call that guy tomorrow.looks like a fine candidate for a head if you were to ask me.....lol...
How's that dn084 working for you??
That chain is in a box ready to ship out tomorrow....and that rollomatic bar could be shipped out too.. If you want it???
PM?$?
Brad did you get a hard copy of the 84 service manual?
Brad;
14 pages and you haven't started building yet!!!
I'm blown away by the connecting rod on these 084. They look like tooth picks. How in the world do they hold up? I'd seen picks of them, but they look even weaker in person. I guess they work.
It broke the crank but the connecting rod held up.
Brad, on the rods think compression,
not tension.

Absolutely amazing! That says a lot for that rod. I bet that thing's made of some crazy hard steel.
True on a 2 stroke. On a 4 stroke, just ATDC on the exhaust is brutal on the rods. Getting yanked down with no force to resist it.
Maybe, but Eddie Hill used to bend a set of rods every pass. But that is with fuel, but we don't know about Brad's fourth 084.

When my 084 ate it's first cylinder it backfired and I swear it spun backwards for a second. It broke the crank but the connecting rod held up.
