We can't stop here, this is bat country.
This MS660 for fishermanmgv came in a few weeks ago, very clean used saw he picked up but he was looking for a little more out of it.
As measured with a degree wheel the numbers were:
Ex. 172 deg
In. 160 deg
Trans. 112 deg
Now measured with a caliper and the durations calculated:
Ex. 167 deg
In. 155 deg
Trans. 110 deg.
There is a quit a bit of difference between the two because with the caliper method any port chamfering is not taken into account and stock there is a large chamfer on the exhaust and intake sides.
The cylinder had a ring of death at the top so I didn't cut the squish much but I did true it up with sand paper on the mandrel. The final numbers measured with the caliper method.
Ex. 167 deg
In. 160 deg
Trans. 120 deg.
Pretty tame on the intake, lots more duration but not to wide on the ports since the rubber boot intake is the biggest bottleneck in this system.
Not too much lower transfer work, just take the lip off the bottom and square it up nicely. You can't see it but the sides are cut much wider under the bridge to help direct the flow more towards the intake side. The upper transfers were raised a lot and brought towards the intake side. The exhaust side was taken out a little but the entry angle intersection remained the same. Due to the ring pin location you can't go to much more towards the intake side but this is plenty good for a woods ported working man saw.
I trued the squish band, took 0.005" off and ended up taking 0.008" off the base, squish ended up a little larger then I wanted at 0.028" but if it ever needs a rebuild a Meteor piston will fit fine (I've found them to be 0.005" taller on the pin to crown height). You can't go too much wider on the exhaust and I really didn't raise it all, just enough to get the shape and finish I wanted.
The exhaust trumpet was enlarged slightly and the muffler was port matched with the baffle cut out.
Extra outlet on the left side.
