No booooo to the half wrap.
Please. If I would have built it, It would still be in my basement disassembled.

Me after I disassemble a saw down to the crank......
I have no use for a full wrap handle. They only get in my way.
We can fix that
Here's the final product. 24" T&L bar.
Nice lawn there too Brad!

that's not really a lawn. it's a hydroponic astro turf pad in his basement. he spends alot of time caring for it so he can take some beauty saw photo's. he told me he ported the hydroponic system and it's been out of control. this is why you see brad posting pics of saws in nice lush grass in the middle of winter

I know nothing.
I've always thought it would be interesting to have a yard of goat heads. I'd never have to worry about the dogs running away!
I don't normally work on saws on week nights, but was anxious to see this 2171 ported. So, I tackled the job last night and finished it up this evening. WOW!!!! I do believe this is the strongest 70cc class saw I've ever built. This thing is just insane! It make ridiculous RPMs and pulls like a mule. I love it! I think I have a new favorite saw
So is this piston worth it? I'm going to build myself a 372/2171 and was eyeballing these pistons again.
If you can do your own machine work, I don't see where they buy you much more than any other piston.
Ok. A meteor is $30 so you get 3 for the price of that one. I was just wondering how much weight savings over a meteor it gives. Anything to help the bottom end live longer.
I don't recall if I weighed it or not. I believe he's selling gen II which is lighter than the one I had.

Anyone ran the V3 piston?
Sounds like it may more of a finished product. More dome, something changed intake timing.
Wonder if the 52mm Stihl MS-460 piston will work in a 52mm xpw cylinder? Sposedly was coming in December.

Any update on this piston? How is it holding up
I’ve ran several tanks through my 2171 that @mdavlee ported, and have had zero issues. It is very strong for a 71cc saw.

Yea I'm curious also how snellings saw or anyone else whose used this piston has held up. There is an article on the dominant site about the titanium wrist pin not lasting, so probably not a good option for a work saw. And also heard the rings on the piston don't last? How has yours held up, as well as the bearings. Is it worth installing these parts over say a husky 268 pop up piston in a 372 or is this dominant piston the best answer?
