You gonna tap a new vent in there ? that one may have sand in it from the blasting .

I should huh?
I saw some sand in there and thought the same.
I'll get ahold of @mcobb2 and have him send one along with the updated bar studs

Yeah the little spring in there may hold debris ,just punch it into the tank and shake it around till it falls out the cap hole ,then tap a new one in with a small hammer ,think they are only a few bucks ,will keep from seeping oil and having a puddle under the saw .The new style bar studs are much nicer ,do not have to lift the bar when snugging the bar nuts .

Getting the vent outta the tank shouldn't be a problem.....sittin like this right now....
So, since we are derailed anyway:
Yesterday I visited a HS friend I had not seen in over 30 years. He collects "stuff". Has an assortment of bull dozers & excavators, many of them very old. One of his bull dozers has a block & tackle to lift that blade, and has been sold to a museum in CT (It is WWII era).
He also has hundreds of riding and non riding lawn mowers, and a few chainsaws, including several 2 man saws. Likely the most unusual one I saw was a 2 man saw that had two handles on the operators side (one for each hand), and ran on a 2 cylinder Mercury marine motor. I believe he said it was a Dolmar.
Real interesting stuff. I know he sells some of the large equipment, but when I asked him about selling anything else he told me "sell" is a four letter word, he much prefers "buy"!!!
He is very good friends with my other friend Harold, and I will have to see if I can get them both to come to a GTG in the future.

I didn't do this on my personal hybrid build and didn't have an issue, but for peace of mind, I'm gonna clearance the case on this build.
You can see the blue lines where I'm going to grind.

Is this completely necessary? Wondering if I should do the same. A few pages back I also asked about going to the larger 460 cylinder bolts...will you be drilling and tapping the case for them? And do you have an opinion on 064 piston? I swear I tried to bring it back on track!!!I didn't do this on my personal hybrid build and didn't have an issue, but for peace of mind, I'm gonna clearance the case on this build.

Not sure if it's necessary or not.
But case castings vary slightly from one to the next. The offset seems quite prevalent here so I'm gonna grind it to be safe. It won't hurt.
I won't be using 6mm jug bolts. Don't see the need.
As far as an 064 piston....that's a good idea but I don't have any machine tools here at the house to adjust squish or turn the base if needed so I'd rather just build it the way I know.
I'm not porting this saw. It'll be a stock build. If Dave wants me to send it to a builder when I'm done I'd be happy to.

I did that to mine ,piston was rubbing if i rolled it over with the base bolts loose .I didn't do this on my personal hybrid build and didn't have an issue, but for peace of mind, I'm gonna clearance the case on this build.

here is transfer mod ,both sides of the base need ground down also to fit between the case ,to slot the base holes ,i used a 440 base gasket ,and marked the base holes with a sharpie ,and used a chainsaw file to slot them .
Where i had to trim the plastic ,i used the air die grinder with carbide bit
And a couple 5/16 nuts worked for muffler spacers

Be careful when grinding the outside of the jug do a little at a time till it clears ,you do not want to poke through ,i used the reg 440 base bolts also ,no problem pulling them yet with 230 psi cold .
Awesome info! Has anyone ground the sides of the case to help with clearance?

I built a custom muffler spacer from 3/16" 6061 Alum on my last hybrid. Worked great. One piece. Much easier than trying to juggle the nuts behind the muffler. Unless of course you tack welded the nuts.
