White-top Husqvarna 50 Rancher. Measured the squish w/the original gasket & a new piston at .062. Seems kinda high. Did my best to see if the dimensions of the original piston match the new (supposedly OEM) piston & can't tell that they're any different. So it seems that this saw was running w/a squish of .062.
I can always slap it back together as is, but I was hoping to reduce the squish to .020. If I reduce it that much, will I have to do any porting? How low can I go without porting?
I tried a couple of searches on this and wound up getting about a zillion unrelated results . . . search engine throws out common words like "not enough", etc.
Thanks,
Ma
