I think I'll pour one for me and one for you, don't let it bother you if you don't make it by I'll drink your half.

Look that piston over real good...
If it and the rings pass muster, remove the base gasket..
While you have the jug off, raise the upper transfer roof a few thousandths and bevel the nikasil a bit...
You'll get good results...
Or nip the crown of the piston in the area of the upper transfers and leave the jug alone...

Yeah, I figured I'd check everything over real good as I haven't used an aftermarket kit before and haven't really heard much about this brand (was given to me in Germany, made in Italy). From the outside looking in, the piston and cylinder still look brand new. Never know, might find something else when I pull the top off. I'll try and get the squish at .020, or .5mm in my measurements, lol. I learned how to use a caliper in Germany, so I'll probably always use metric, just what I know. It'll probably be this weekend before I get to it. This is my first week back from leave, so I'm trying to play catch up at work.

Wow that could go bad if the bike rider messed up !

It's faster than the Dolkita, but not sure beyond that... More testing needs done, but I got no opportunity to really do it right... Hopefully by sometime next week...

I's be curious to run my 372 with the 28" bar and one of my chains in a large piece of wood and then bolt your Dolkita power-head on it and see what the difference is. I'd bet yours has more torque, but I'm not sure about the top-end...

Using an abrasive cut off disc, I turned my little table saw into a bar dressing station. Did four yesterday afternoon. Belt sander makes them look spiffy and/or ready for paint.

21" roller nose off the Dayton is in really sad shape. Bent a little and twisted to boot, he is.

Is the roller nose salvageable?

Steve sorry to hear about your sister.

Hope Every one has a good day .

Good morning everybody. Don't mean to be a Debbie Downer but does everybody remember where they were on this day 13 years ago? I do. I had been at work (VA) for about 4 months, still in training. They turned on the available TVs and gave us the option to go watch the news. They also gave us the option to go home.

I was on this farm gathering eggs as usual, I was glued to the tube couldn't wrap my head around what had happened.

 

[Homelite410]

I was woken up
By my roommate saying you gotta see this! Mowed later that day and remembered the erieness of no planes in the sky!

 

[workshop]

I was driving a maintenance van to Joplin Mo and heard it on the radio.
Yeah, it was strange not seeing airplanes for a few days.

 

[jerrycmorrow]

The bad part is, those suckers still walk the face of the earth. Grrrrrr

 

[Homelite410]

Or was it a giant conspiracy?? Ever heard of nano thermite?

 

[Locust Cutter]

I was asleep (working 2nds) and was awakened by my roommate (who was awakened by Dad's call). I got the TV on in time to see the second impact. Many things about that still don't make sense to me. I spent the rest of that day, into the next helping to get 9 B-1b Bombers "cocked on" (loaded and ready to unleash hell)... Sadly nothing happened. That day was a blur and the base was locked down in FPCON Delta.

 

[Oliver1655]

A true tragedy!

I was adding a couple of bathrooms to a house & the owner was glued to the tv keeping me updated.

 

[WKEND LUMBERJAK]

I was in Columbia Mo. wiring up a elevator controller. I noticed things got real calm and quiet on the construction site. it was a sobering day.

 

[cobey]

i was working at superior wheel my boss came and told me.... I didnt even know where the world trade center was...or hadnt thought about it
a sad day when I found out how many people died............... the no planes thing was weird.... the sky was as blue as i had ever seen it.......
gas lines... gas stations raising prices..... people scrambling to buy guns and ammo.... alot of unknowns that day

Is the roller nose salvageable?

I suppose if a person drilled out the rivits and had another bar to put it on (Oregon).

I'm not done messing with it. But, the amount of rail to be removed will likely have the chain bottoming the drivers. And, will have to go to .058 or even .062. Sloppy, he is.
