That is a thought, that I hadn't thought of doing. I guess I wonder how much that will affect the air quantity being provided for cooling. No, it won't be used for milling and I tend to run my saws with a little extra oil (32-40:1). But I also am one that doesn't like to half a$$ something either, if it is going to negatively affect things.
Yes, when I got the power head, it was seized. The rings were stuck in the piston from carbon and the wrist pin & bearing are getting replaced. But everything else feels beautiful in it, for the lower rotating assembly. The oe piston and cylinder are just fine as well. Already have a new set of caber rings on the piston and measured end gap for placement on the piston. It will be getting a new set of oil seals too.
This is all why I said it was going to be a slow build, as I am doing this in pure free time, as well as having other priorities. It will also be a slow build because I plan on trying to use good used oe parts for as much of it, as possible. Not opposed to using some AM, as that is what the fuel tank and plastics will be. But the brake handle and brake are going to be oe. Prefer to run an oe oil pump, that has been made into an HO pump. The biggest area I wanted to be as oe as possible, I have. Like I said in my beginning post, just looking for input, more or less.
