ln any case l would take the opinion of someone who operates on these systems and around them for a living more seriously than someone who does not. Everyone who's been around AS long enough comes to realise Niko loves Huskies and passionately hates Stihls. He even hates Stihl chain and prefers Oregon...that is how much he don't like stihl. However on the basic stuff he has helped ooodles of noobs with little things that others won't bother with and his dedication to the site is unprecedented. Do l take everything he says as gospel....hell no, do l value/respect his contribution to the site.....absolutely.

No. I'm not splitting the 555 to put stuffers in it. I'll simply take this topend and drop it on a 2260 next week.Does this mean the 555 is stuffed or just the 562:
Here's the 555 with the 562XP transfer covers. This was another brand new Stihl RS chain, .058 gauge for the Tsumura bar. I hit a screw in my log stand with it. So, it had to be filed. I'll use this same B&C next week when I run this topend on the 2260. The other new RS chain that I was running on the Husky bar hit a steel post in the wood lot where I've been running it. I hurt it pretty bad and had to grind it. BTW, the saw now has 4 tanks of fuel through it. Also, I had to cut off 8"-10" of the log to get past a knot. Hopefully I'm at a point where I can get a decent comparison with the 2260 next week.
Here are a couple pics to show the differences in the transfer covers. The 562XP covers are .085" deeper than those from the 555. That's a pretty significant difference.
Here are a few pics of the port work.
I also want to give a big thanks to Randy for sending me these 562XP transfer covers!

No problem......I'm as interested as you in the differences they make.
They made some difference, but nothing huge. They certainly didn't hurt it. I think they will work hand in hand with the stuffers, bumping the velocity back up with the wider transfer ducts? What do you think of that theory.
I'm with ya. I still like my screwdrivers!

Have you checked the tradin post lately.... Im about as generous as I can get.
Sharing plenty.Good thread Brad! lt shows commitment when you do the vids in the dark lol. Would narrower transfer ports give faster velocity/less volume and wider ports give slower velocity/more volume?? Maybe l am on the wrong track but when l need to clean my truck l put a tiny nozzle on the hose which massively increases the velocity of the water coming through it where as when l need to fill a pool of water the nozzle acts as a 'choke point' slowing down volume.
thats what mitch did to my 555.
562 jug and stuffers,no portin,ran harder.
I have not run a ported 562 but my 555 sure runs harder!
and the muff mod.
This is just a theory until I drop this topend on the 2260. But, I think the wider transfer covers are needed to flow the volume need to make the power that the 562/2260 does. The stuffers are then needed to get the base compression back where it needs to be.
I'm going the easy route and just swapping bottom ends
If I were committed to sticking with the 555, I'd have to investigate that option.
Don't blame you. Heard that Husky magnesium strip easy. Use once and throw away, kind of like torque to yield head bolts in automobiles.
The removable covers make grinding to transfers so nice, don't they?
