Brad, I agree with you totally that it is the port timing & compression, but they were just better on the D jugs, it is not that a D shape is better, I understand that. (Like comparing a Hemi head to a wedge head).

Deets, how do you manage to run a 36" bar on an 044/440 frame? Did you modify the oiler? Saw looks good.

I got a 36" bar for my 460/046. It will not wear it all the time, but I have two Red Oaks lined up that will need it.

Stock oiler Mike, this is also just my beater/stumping chain. It's RS with every third cutter removed. I think it would be a bit faster with my full skip square.

Nice work Kieth, do you deck your cylinders any.

Ya the squish is set to .019 with gasket delete for 180 psi but it may get alil more took out

I heard the stock oiler would not handle a bar that long ... good to know (and see).

I plan to run RSLH on the 36" light bar, it seems to work very nicely on the 28" light bar on the 044 #2.

044 oilers are stingy. I would never attempt to run anything over a 28" with a stock oiler for an extended period of time. Maybe a few cuts......but that's it.
Ive owned 5-6 044/440's. All of them the same.....stingy mofo's
Just sayin....

That is all the compression you need for a fantastic runner.

Hi. You must be new here. Let me help you out...if a saw don't blow 230 then they don't hardly run at all. Welcome to AS.

I slipped out this morning before a trip to texas and ran the 440 about 20 cuts. Its strong

Those had better be Grade 8 studs, lol.

Hey @SquareFile , how'd you get your air compressor to go that high? Or, did you pull the needle off the gauge and put it back on?

Well I've never ported an engine in my entire life...but I read it on the internets so it's obviously fact.

Hey Brad, manufacturers build dependable worksaws. Lmao
