My 026 project

[blsnelling]

.015" squish is fine for this small saw.

I used a straight Dremel with one or more stacked cutoff wheels for years. Yes, an angle piece revolutionized my transfer work, but the cutoff wheels will work just fine in many applications. BTW, I like to leave .100" area for the ring end, so don't widen your transfers too far.

I like a nearly flat intake port. Finish the port, then set your intake timing by trimming the skirt.

I run a single ring on almost all saws.

So I never followed up to this thread with my completion because I was busy with life. however I did finish the port work, and the saw runs great in my opinion.

I will have to find where I wrote down the port numbers but I ended up at .017 on the squish and pretty much dead on to the port timing numbers recommended here. Pulled 218 psi on my compression tester!!
running a 16 inch bar with .325 chain it really screams!
Thanks again to all that helped me out on this project.
