Hello Cliff, (cliff 72),
Here's some photo's of your 371 in various stages of modification, first, degreeing the port timing duration.

Changing the squish

This photo shows the barrel on the lathe with the base being cut to arrive at the ideal squish clearance.

Well Ken, I`m sure that you are soon to have another extremely satisfied customer. I`d say that Cliff will probably be shocked at the improvement you have produced the first time he runs his saw. Russ

The cat's out of the bag now!  Ken's using a degree wheel with 3% finer resolution.  That must be how he gets the drop on his competitors, not to mention completely throwing them off the trail when they try to reverse engineer his work.  This finally explains the utter bewilderment that ensues when they try to apply his figures.  What a coup to discover that!

I have spent most of the day trying to figure out how port time 371 degrees into my saw. Man thats alot of duration, Dennis only gave me 224 deg. Guess I'll just have go back to Kens for further lessons.

Apparently having all the correct tools for that makes it go much smoother

I don't know what Dennis put in your 046 Robert, but it works pretty good, maybe he felt that the 084 being twice the size, it could use twice the porting.
Dennis he can give you a bad time about the 084, but I know he won"t sell the 046.
