Guess I'll put the "why" here. The other post has already been deleted by one of the other mods, I really don't see a need to dig it back out.
The builder, who in my opinion is one of the most reputable ones here on AS - if he's had prior problems, I've not heard of any - got in touch with me earlier tonight with his side of the story. As I understand it, they've been in contact with each other, and the builder has asked him to pull the cylinder so they can see what the cause was. Without knowing a cause, pointing fingers is poor behavior.
I know Ted edited his posts, heck, with the new software I can read all the edits. I do notice that he didn't call the builder out by name, but I do wish he'd gone about this in private before a couple irate posts that he obviously regretted later and edited. I understand frustration, and not knowing what you're gonna do without the tools needed to do your job, so I don't hold being angry against him. That's a big part of why I'm leaving this one open, for commiseration and the offers of saws or other help that some generous guys here have laid out.
Ted, if you see a reason I should re open the other thread, send me a message and I'll consider it. Anyone else who's not directly involved in this would be well advised to think before you post here. My PM, err "Conversation" box is open if you've got a problem with me.

I'm the one who asked for it to be closed.. had I known half the site knew who was working om my stuff I would have not bothered in the first place.
I don't remember having ever mentioned it previously. I did start a thread a while back regarding porting an 084 but that was for my own enlightenment. I think after its all done I'll just go back to porting my own saws. The 660 I last did had millions of feet on it. It far surpassed my expectations to say the least. A Co worker has saws done by this builder that are holding up fine so far. Like I said, if I didn't trust the guy I wouldn't have let him carve in the first place.
And I don't want to be to crass here, but if I didn't mention names in my first post, who the **** feels they have the right to do it for me? I could have been talking about one of many builders who no one here even knows of, cause there are plenty out there...
I will be running a saw of my bosses for now, but I may have to take you guys up on some help. I just wish could return the kindness.

Somebody had "disliked" this post, which was crazy. I was kinda angry (for me) and I looked at who would not like this gesture of generosity, and it turned out to be me! Finger mistake on my part.
Any pro who finds himself sawless for whatever reason is always welcome to borrow my 385, it's too small for me anyway
O56, you're welcome to the masterminded 394 if you need it. It's a nasty *****. I'm done cutting for the winter

Husk, I see you fixed the unlike already. I was just gonna go delete it for you.
I'd offer up one of my saws, but loggers is scared of Dolmars... (just kidding guys)

Naaah, they're not scared of them at all. As a matter of fact every time somebody mentions Dolmars we all have a good laugh, pick up our Stihls or Huskies, and go back to work.

blown is a relative term. kid, what wrong with them saws? pistons n cylinders can be replaced. I have a good set off a 460, just needs the spark plug hole fixed.
done sent the basket case to jolly ole england, otherwise well you'd be playing with a wore out 046 that's held together with jb weld and baling wire...
