Had my boy run my 660 today for me. 42" bar. Logs pine very dry about 36" diameter. My 660 was built very conservative .028 squish. Basically matched gasket ported so its smooth in and out. Stock muffler. Wj-76 carb. I did do the ho oil pump but it does not pump enough. I think the stock pump was better. So I need to pull it and see if its 100% I wanted it very conservative as this 660 will be used on a mill and in big wood. I spent a few hours making a mandrel and lathing the cylinder base true and square. I then spent a lot of time cleaning the ports and making very nice beveled edges. I also worked the piston over a bunch smoothing. I polished the rod beam and beveled the oil holes. She rips. Now we will see how long it runs. I just did a 394 husky full rebuild. But I ported. This saw a bunch. Timing changed a bit on intake and transfers. Opened up everything as big as can be done without welding on extra. We shot a video of each running in the same log. Same 42" long bars on both saws. 394 hot rod is faster than the 660 and that's fine I want it to last a very long time. Enjoy.

Its Forester brand bar and chain. Everytime it runs it gets a little less. So I think after today another adjustment I will be good. I have a 25ft roll of archer ripping chain to fit on it next. See how much it stretches. I want to get a few more tanks of fuel through it before it goes on the mill though.
 
Sounds like I need to order an OEM oil tube. Dammit. I hate the stihl dealer! Still don't have my 070 felt washer in. Hope they have that oil tube in stock.
 
I talked to Stihl corporate and told them about the bad service from different dealers and they said so what. Independent. I said you should care I can buy what I need. You mean they won't sell you a trimmer or blower, no they won't sell me parts. Sorry out of or hands

And we absolutely will not sell directly to you. One of the dealers near me is a racist pig. I hate him. So!

Stihl corporate is the problem

All chains will stretch a bit but I'm not sure on the farmertec chain I run Stihl chains and bar's just because most of the saws I've owned were and are Stihl but building the farmertec ms660 kit still saved me a bit of cash. Lol

I'll put in a plug for my Stihl dealer in Jonesboro - Allied Small Engine. I just email them a list of the parts I need and they order them from Stihl, no shipping charge. Sometimes it takes a while. Their prices are reasonable. I think it's just the book rate. Most of the parts I order are little things, so they don't make a lot on my individual orders. But they have a 100% customer return rate with me, so it adds up.
