ptjeep and i done a little testing on my 385 today. i can say this i know where to get those missing rpm that it didnt have but i think when i did that i lost some of the torque. id rather have the torque that it had before the change. so i put it back.
Good point, I have run with a lot of guys who leaned there saws out, to get the highest rpm, but I would beat them at the stump. Kind of like floating the valves on a 4 stroke, you go backwards a little on the torque as it falls. Howdy Will Looking good man sweet saw:msp_wink:
 
Picked up a new compression tester today. I duno WTF is going on but the 390 only blew 145psi??????? My nice 372 blew 160psi which I knew from before, so the gauge must be accurate. I don't really think its going to come up allot once broken in.

I figured it would be higher, since I machined out the squish band.

Will, The deck heights of the piston the same? decomp blocked with a plug, or ATLEAST sealing?

I would think It would be higher too... I put a new slug in a Jonsereds 625, sans base gasket and it blew just under 190. The saw had not been run yet!... :dunno: THAT I was surprised with....

I would think it should be up 175+++. The one I had with no popup and the squish at .019" was 175.

UH-OH! There goes my CAD again...:dizzy::dizzy::dizzy::hmm3grin2orange:
 
Well I put a plug in it and it only hit 150, then I figured I should start it briefly to get some heat into it and lube the bore, after that it hit 160, so a little better but I want more. After I run a few tanks, its coming back apart.
 
Cool !
I NEED one of those testers!
Too bad about the comp., something don't sound right.:msp_ohmy:

Nice tester, not cheap though. Nothing Snap-On is cheap.

I duno about the comp, I'm gona run some tanks through it and take it back apart. Maybe something happened to the rings? Maybe there was a burr on one of the ports and hurt the rings? Who knows.
