Yeah Steve
Take it apart, get pics, and see what the builder has to say. Something went badly wrong to die that quick and I doubt it was user error.
Well it snowed off and on all day, and is still snowing!
Progress was slow but got a second load laid in this afternoon. Ended up using the second widow maker up to the break, a few rounds off the bottom of one totem pole before it turned punky, and the entire trunk off the last totem pole.
One of many splits that was loaded with flying ants. I left them out for the birds but they were covered in snow fairly quickly. Those rounds are stored outside until they will be put directly into the boiler.
Outside and inside racks are full.
Bonus of some cast iron cookware in the last pic that I’m restoring.
I was a wet and tired boy after all of that plus a couple hours of plowing. Dinner was three burrito sized tacos and a bacon cheeseburger. Cornbread for dessert.

.At least the door is better insulated now lol.
My question is, where are the cars
.
Best attitude you could have right there
.Good thing you had the 266 along for the trip
.I've used those pistons before with good results, but if you can get an oem that's even better.
I'd guess it's more likely a crank seal let go than the decomp or ingesting something, but having a screen isn't a bad thing as long as it's still able to breathe enough.

Chipper, When I took the muffler off it had a few pieces of wood scrap in it. I think from it bouncing around in the bed of my truck, it might have ingested some thing. This thing has a very large outlet on the exhaust. Just took a break from plowing at the dealership when I get home I’ll send a picture of the outlet on the muffler

Steve, I’ve built many an engine for guys that abuse them on the dragstrip. I would not want one of them coming back looking at me when they blew it up at the strip. I’m not gonna point my finger at anybody except myself. That thing ran like a raped ape, I’m very happy with the build I got.
Drag racing and a woods ported saw are two different things though....not blaming the builder without seeing pics but you should figure out what happened and let them know. It may change the way they build future saws.
Apples to oranges but I sold a ported, piped sled to my brother in law. He ran it full bore for ten miles straight and was pissed at me when it blew. That’s abuse. Cutting wood with a woods ported saw should last for years.
I've had them ingest stuff and they didn't look like that.
I'd just ask the builder what he wants me to do. He may want to do a forensic investigation on it himself.
If he's pretty close I would certainly try that route, besides I do whatever I can to get out of working on them myself

All them scores on the piston are on the hot spot. Basically at 2 o’clock on the piston... did she overheat ?

Sharp chain tossing good chips like pouring out a bag of corn flakes. And it was FREEZING today. I’m wondering if leaving it out in the cold made the crank seal brittle. It was in the back of my truck all night and it was 10 this morning.... the 266 was downstairs on my reloading bench all night. I dunno?
Saws run fine well below zero so I doubt that was it.
It is a good idea to keep those saws in the warmth though, they start lots better and the bar oil isn’t molasses.

Bar oil molasses, that’s a good one. It was like pouring honey today
You can basically hang bar oil out of the jug like a booger when it’s below zero lol.
My bar oil stays next to the boiler till I need it.
