Not overly excited with the 288 today, just doesn't have enough for me/not what I expected. I will take your guys advise and do a 288 pop-up piston and then port it.

Now your talking! I had a ported 288 once, and dumb me sold it. It pulled a 36" bar no problem.
It couldn't keep up with a 69cc 30 year old Poulan? :hmm3grin2orange:
Maybe it was just having a bad day? Maybe if your going back to try the Poulan again you should just get a 327 Chevy piston to put in it. :hmm3grin2orange:

Well, I decided to take another look at the 288 before I started over again with a Meteor 288xp piston. Took it out and did some cutting in my Sycamore test log, tuned it by ear. It seemed to be cutting pretty darn good so I put a tach on it, still 4-stroking at 15,000 rpm!!!!:jawdrop: I guess it's running ok after all.
I will say that it doesn't hold the rpm in the wood like the 372 does but I can really lean on it! I'm not too sure I want to mess with it too much right now, although the high compression does worry me a bit. I might pull it down to put a thicker base gasket in it, last time I checked it it was just above 210psi. I can do another video if wanted....

Sounds like a good ending to me, if yer pulling those kind of RPM's and leaning on it in Sycamore, then call me jealous - Sam

Its looking much healthier than it was at the GTG. Maybe now it can hang with a cream sickle 70cc saw?
