I ended up using a mt dew can and copper sealant, got me back to .021 squish. The can was a little hard to work with, but I did'nt have a bag on hand. I will probably try the bag on my next project if it works out so that I can.
I am hoping this saw will cut as fast as my 660. The 660 has bb kit, two port muffler, and a carb off of an older 066 with no limiter caps, its the strongest saw I have hands down.
Just used solder through the plug hole. Got this idea from a thread on this site not hard to find here. I have learned so much from this site,its awesome!!!!
standard printer paper is .004 thick.
Thank you for the responses. I never thought about it changing the port timing.
thats why he is the "DR" lol
some use a brown paper bag with good sucess
0.017" is ok. I have never used a gasket for a 046/MS460 mod. Permatex Ultra Grey applied thinly. An amount equivalent to the size of a pea on your finger. I have never had a problem with that clearance. Don't know how many 460's I've done. Maybe 90 or so in the last 7 years.I have started my first attempt at modding a work saw. the saw is a ms 460 stihl. I have removed the base gasket and now only have .017 squish what should i use for a gasket to gain back the.005 I need to get back around the .022 squish I was looking for.
beer can cut open and cut out to fit gets you about 2.5 thou, that ought to do it. Requires drinking a pint, some times the first gasket is not just right, but by the 4th or 5th one you'l have it down.
I have never had one leak. Ever. Make sure the surfaces are clean and dry before assembly and give it a few hours before running it. Sorry I took so long to reply.Simon--stupid question--would it be a good idea after installing cyl. with no gasket (sealant only) to do vac/press test to make sure its airtight?
