Mastermind Meets The Stihl 088

[Mastermind]

Nice saw getting undressed.

The 088 sure is a sweetie of a saw...

Only .020 without a gasket. I don't like the squish that tight on a saw with this much displacement.

Now for a little detour......I needed a better boring bar for cutting squish so......

Now setting up for the cut......

And making it. We removed .060

I love the timing numbers in this baby after machine work JJ. It's looking like a real runner.

After the cut.

Improved squish clearance.

I'll just port match the exhaust flange, it seems plenty big to me.

 

[Mastermind]

And this is where I stopped for the night.......the port work is nearly roughed in.

Nice looking work! Is there a reason for using twisted solder rather than a solid strand for checking squish?

 

[sawfun9]

Thanks Randy, I can't wait to try it out.

 

[LegDeLimber]

Twisted solder ?
Probably a roll of .032 dia and just a preemptive move.

Recently stuck some .032 in a blower jug and had to do the twist thing
to get a pinch reading.

Yeppers. I bought several rolls cheap.

Sorry about taking so long to get to it. I never would have imagined I would get so busy with this stuff.

Randy, it doesn't surprise me in the least that you have gotten so much business. Nevermind the fact you have won a couple build-offs, but the amount you contribute here, sponsoring this addicting site we can't stay away from, and just being an awesome person in general. Nope, no surprises here. :msp_wink:
