Excellent test, Brad. That you were able to get nice power out of the not-so-great Stihl jug is a testament to your porting skills.
Maybe you already posted this somewhere -- it's been a long, meandering, thread -- but what were the final compression & port timing specs on the two big saws ?
Ya know, I look at that big log you used for testing and think "it's a shame not to mill that into lumber."
I'm surprised you didn't use your 084 to knock out a cant ?

Compression is somewhere back in the thread. I'm thinking they were 158/160? The Stihl being the 160.
Exhaust and transfer timing didn't change. I did lower the intakes a little.
I did use the 084 with 50" bar to slab the sides. Unfortunately, I pinched the rails on that bar a little too much on it when I refurbed it, and when it gets hot, it binds the chain. I'm going to have to work on it some more. I used my new 440 to slab the top and bottom. There's no way I could have handles that 084 for all of that.

there are few things I hate more than rain and humidity.... You never get rain when you want it and always do when you don't. The humidity, well that just makes for suffering. It should rain for 2 or 3 hours between 3:00 and 6:00 am 3 or 4 times a week. After that, I want a low dewpoint and sunny skies.

I'll post a pic once I get them reinstalled
I noticed they went missing in action in the videos

Yeah in hindsight it would have been great to include a 395XP. Ah well. If I win the lottery I'll do it all again with about 10 saws
The finish is black oxide. Hind sight's 20/20. I should have had him do the dawg bolts and bar nuts as well.
This should make you a good limbing saw Matt:clap. 20" bar and 8-pin rim.
I'm nicknaming it "Black Mak"

That looks pretty trick. Like a "sleeper" saw.

That black oxide finish is SLICK looking! Nice touch.
That's the first time I've seen them reinstalled, lets just say my EHP7900 is next.
