lucky said:oh and almost forgot, you say boob job like it's a bad thing????
I`ve got no problems with a good boob job!
I didn`t coin the phrase "boob job" in relation to saw mods, I believe that Cahoon did when referencing Gypo`s 044 that he modified with a file. Gypo`s 044 does run very well and to the extent that a guy may just want to see what certain timing changes can do for performance, with no eye toward longevity, boob jobs work! Are they the right thing to do if you want your saw to stand up to rigorous use? I don`t think so and I don`t believe that you will find any true experts that would support this type of mod either.
I don`t understand why Gypo advocates modifying the cheap component, the piston, on one hand ala A. Graham Bell, and yet on the other hand potentially fubars the barrel on the same mod by raising the exhaust port roof, with a file! How does he get adequate port chamfer to protect the rings? How does he file the port roof without potentially flaking the chrome off around the port? There are alot of questions along these lines that I already asked in the basic saw mods thread that John flat out ignored and did not answer. I`m sure that I appeared to be a smart ass but these are still legitimate questions and points that anyone thinking of follwing Gypo`s lead should consider. That`s all.
More power to Gypo for getting under the hood, on his own saws.
