The official W.Ky Buildoff Poll

[Mastermind]

I bought another 346 yesterday. This ones an OE. With another saw, I can put the OEM topend back on my NE saw and put the aftermarket cylinder I'm working on on this OE saw. That'll make comparison testing a lot easier. I suppose I'll bring them both.

I need a piston to get in on this build. I only use Meteor pistons and OEM. The Greek is the only one I know of that stocks Meteor for the NE346XP. I doubt I can get one shipped in time for the build.

I do have a 353 top end I may play around with and enter.

Just a question, will anyone have a chain breaker-spinner at the GTG? I am going to have a 28" chain that will need to be shortened to 84dl.

btw anybody want to do a gtg swap meet ???

Well guys, guess its time to swap cylinders. I ran my 372 and 66 against each other today again. Both were wearing 8 pin sprockets and the same 24'' bar and chain cutting past the tip in a hard ass Oak log. The chain is RSC that was used on my saw in the 372 buildoff, Its never been sharpened and has only made probably 10 cuts.....so it's close to off the roll. The 372 is still holding about 3 seconds on the 66, which is better than I started out I guess. I got a non decomp to give it a whirl......

Here's the vids if anyone's interested.... I was just practicing the first cut on the 66 vid

I'd be very curious to see how they both compared wearin 32" bars

Im sure they wont compare wearing 32s. I dont have a 32, but i gotta 36. Think the xp will turn it? Lol

 

[komatsuvarna]

On second thought, i forgot i still have that RL 066 here lol. I should be using it as a comparison saw instead of the 372.

 

[mdavlee]

Well that sucks that cylinder is still not beating the 372. Maybe the non decomp will turn it around the other way.

just roll out the file cabinet with a dolly.

I done one more thing to the cylinder thats on it before Im gonna chunk it. Just gotta put her back on and give it a try.....but it'll probably be a couple days

 

[mdavlee]

Well here's mine with a 24" rsc and an 8 pin on it. I had someone to video so I took advantage of it. It's oak just over bar length.

Hey Jeremy, did you get a chance to look for my requested parts?

Hopefully I can fix that, but I need to get in gear!!
