Is it just me or does that look like a crack starting on the wrist pin hole?
That's a scratch from where the dremel slipped, because I thought the same thing looking at it.

I use a saw file after the rasp on the exhaust, followed by medium sanding 1/4in drum, then fine drums then emerycloth in a high speed drill. Nice an shiney.
Knock off the hard stuff and use a rasp, you are in control - not a high speed tool with an aggressive bit.
If my ports don't look good then the saw sucks, just my own anal ways.
I have the high end set at 3/4 turn out and that's 12,800 I don't dare go leaner.
It doesn't hurt a thing to go in more than that. A ported 660 will turn closer to 14K. Tune it where it's barely 4-stroking at WOT and forget about where the needle is. What you're experiencing here is not at all uncommon. Matter of fact there's another thread about a 394/395 with the same situation.
Here's a couple video of it cutting today
I have it running at 13,800rpms, could bump it up a couple more.
Wood is 11.5 inch Pine
I'm not pushing the saw, it will even faster when I get a better feel for it.
This thing is an Animal! I timed it out at a little over 2 seconds a cut.

Nice,
what chain are you running?
Looks and sounds good! The second video looks real nice, the saw stays nice and flat and the rpm's don't wander much.......sounds like you found the sweet spot and kept it there
I can't wait to see how it does in some 8x8's
Should do real good, what are you running for a sprocket?
