I say if you win by more than a few second you must tear your saw down.
Might not be a bad idea. It only takes 5 minutes or less to pull the jug....tear down the winning top three saws...
I mentioned building a 385, 390 and a stroker 390.
The first two saws I figured would be legal for the build off.......the stroker would just be a "exhibition" saw. Sorta like when we did the 395XPs and I ran that 3120XP........it was the fastest saw in the build off wood, but it was not part of the build off.
I was pretty upset yesterday (y'all probably didn't even notice, lol) when I felt like I was being accused of stealing someone's ideas. The stroker crank idea was brought to me. It was not my idea at all. One of our members (and likely way more than one) is a damn good machinist. He has built some stroked cranks for other applications, but never for a chainsaw. I was trading advice, parts, and probably some cash for a full circle titanium crank with one mm more throw. After the dust up yesterday, I told him to forget the crank.
Joey,I agree and disagree.Brad, those that cheat have to live with them selves and answer for it at sometime. The cost of a stroked crank, bored/replated cylinder and finding a 2100 piston I'm sure is pricey. Is the cost worth the bragging rights? Is it worth the win? To do that and lose to a well built saw with oem bore to stroke.........priceless! Unless all saws will be inspected before running to check, or tear down the winning top three saws, it makes the build off pointless. I don't think the host or sponsor want to do that, I maybe wrong. Make sense?

What the heck is a Lambertized saw?
Joey,I agree and disagree.
I think brad should bring a bored out saw stated as such and not be allowed to be in it for the money. same with strokers and 2 piece heads. These gtg provide everyone knowledge on what is worth it for a pay off on building a saw. maybe a smaller flywheel with a different ignition. Maybe someone figures a way to strato these saws. good info neat to see if its worth the effort but if you want to win the money you have to follow the rules.

may the best person win, good luck to those participating.
It would definitely be a cool build, but I have no intentions of building such an animal. I did once build a 2188 bored out and using a thin-ring 2100 piston. It was a great running saw, but I prefer the characteristics of a standard bore cylinder. That saw new resides in Europe.I think brad should bring a bored out saw stated as such and not be allowed to be in it for the money. same with strokers and 2 piece heads.

Aaaahhh..original and premium saw built by logging legend and hort wanker John Lambert. I am sorry to hear you don't know about johns saws. I hear he is coming out with his own hoof rasp.
+1 on the scotch...You make a very valid point. Good post and I value your opin-yum! You have been around this stuff longer than I, a purse is up and some rules have been set. Sure they can be manipulated , may the best person win, good luck to those participating. I may just arm wrestle Brad and randy for a stop watch position and call Kevin to keep him in the loop. Randy B please bring extra scotch. Lol
