Here's some before and afters and let me tell you the NiCi. They put on this cilinder is insanely hard even harder than the NiCi. That on my 064 cylinder so my port work although this thing should run pretty good but it not purity I'm almost embarrassed to show it but like I've learnt in the past pretty don't always mean it's going to run better........

My mill has a very nice remote oiler on it. So that's covered for sure. I run it always on the mill.
I run the ms660 saw some more today. Seems the get smoother the more it runs. Also have much more oil today on the bar. My thoughts are it has air trapped in the oiler piston and until it purges all that it doesn't oil full bore. But I have oil slinging off the tip today.
My big mac 895 has the Cannon 60" bar. It's actually a big stihl 070 090 bar with 404 chain. So the new kit 090 will bolt right on in place. So that's awesome. I want this 660 for mid sized logs. I don't like to run the giant saw on small logs. Its to off balance. I run my 041 with 20" bar on my 20" mill and will set my big mill up to hold the 42 and of course it holds the 60 as well. Pretty all around setup. And this way I have a saw free to do regular cuts and one saw still on the mill. Is it all to excessive? Of course it is thats the fun of it!
Pic of my oiler and big mac attack. The pick of the mac on the mill does not have the oil tank on it as I had not fabbed and welded that up yet.

We (son and I) slab them at 3.5" to 3.750" then dry and build big conference tables, dinner tables, or bar tops and desks. I will get some video of the ms 660 milling for you guys here.

WOW! Thanks to everyone for this amazing thread. I'm looking to do some milling and just can't get around the $1000+ for a big saw, then the mill, chains, etc. Going with a kit saw makes it fit my budget, the great info here and elsewhere gives me confidence to deal with any issues.
But which 660 kit to buy? The eBay guy has them at ~$285 w/ free shipping (https://www.ebay.com/itm/Complete-P...884798?hash=item33e49de3be:g:3DgAAOSwtn9ZzgkB) Huztl has a kit for $186+$86s/h = $272.
Bedford, you recommend the upgraded carb from Mitty, ~$38 plus s/h, for milling, correct? (https://mittysupply.com/product/wj-76-1-walbro-carburetor-new-genuine/)
Lots of recommendations for various oem parts. Should I figure about $150 for those?
The vacuum kit is pricey- can I use my HVAC kit instead? I forgot to look at the fittings, etc., but ass-me that most of the cost is in the gauge.
Thanks again.

I just noticed in one of your posts you refer to your big Mac bar. If it is the Stihl large mount that they sell today it will not fit the 070. That's right. Will not work, unless you redrill the oil hole and that might change how it works on your Mac. I bought a Stihl bar at the Stihl store. Their documents showed they were selling me the correct bar. They were mad at me when it did not work and I wanted to return it. So I point that out so you can look into it and see if it will cause you trouble. I bought a cannon bar because I was not redrilling a new bar. Even though the cannon was 2x $ the stihl. I told them that was totally unexceptable to not sell a single bar that worked on a 090. I knew not to mention the 070.

I was wondering if you went for the 56 so it could really keep you busy. Lol The 54 is a safe bet. Do you keep an eye on eBay? I have started to watch for cylinders. When I get some cash I take a quick look and see if there are any firesales. I have had great luck with some parts and not so much on others. You just have to keep an eye peeled.

I watch Ebay for the most part this cylinder has some hard NiCi I'm really surprised but there is a problem with it on the top of the cylinder it has a ring on the squish band that comes out from the cylinder wall and I've done some measurements and if I leave it there my squish will be around . 033 and I want . 023 on this one so I'm going to have to figure out how to get it out of there. Lol. Yea I do have a piston for a big bore but no cylinder I don't think it's worth putting a big bore on the ms660 the way I port them they make plenty of power for a work saw.
I don't have a spare cylinder and I should. I thought all nikasil was hard. Lol I got a spare 440 case and that is just begging me to do something with it. You know how it works. You got a piston, well now I need a cylinder for it, oh I got a case now I need a ...and there you go. I should have my little 40mm piston coming this week and the fella called and said I could pickup my carb tools. I ordered me a set of Stihl ones. Only two of my carbs have limiters but I will be ready if I ever need them. I am itching to do something. It's an on going itch know what I mean,?

So thinking about trying a smaller sprocket when I put this 660 on the mill. What size spocket is stock now with the kit and will 1 tooth down be good? I would think milling with a 42" bar it would be good. So it looks like stock is 8 tooth so I will order a 7 tooth to try.

Hum ok interesting so is there a 6t?
Yes sir, not on Stihl they show 7/8. I am looking at my documents
Go to madsens1.com and read the performance sprocket tuning page
