I have been reading and studying and have been inspired by the great porting geniuses here and decided to put my new found knowledge to practical use.
I welcome constructive criticism, but I think it is a really solid first effort.
The D shaped cylinder is a great jumping off point as they are known for great performance even before mods.
I widened the intake and polished the jug. Taking special care to do smooth chamfering on all the ports. The squish is dead perfect after turning the base. I plan to use Permatex red with no base gasket, my rough test shows compression right about 198 PSI, so I got that going for me.
I decided to take things a little farther in the interest of wanting a true woods ported saw to be little lighter than stock, I mean a guy has to carry it to the tree right?
A few external modifications to the jug, that I don't think will affect performance though it remains to be seen if longevity will be affected adversely.
I use a proprietary coating on the cylinder walls to increase lubricity.
I think a Foredom is in my future as it should make work easier than the slower tools I used on this one.

This little guy was on the middle of the garage floor when I entered this morning.
Kinda horrifying
