From what I hear you have to have a dyno to see gains.

You didn't hear that from me. I will say its a much more accurate way of finding gains. Timed wood cuts are good if its done properly. A dyno will find all the tiny increases or decreases timed cuts won't.:)

Chad, how do you get hp readings out of your dyno, I seen it's hydraulic. Is there some gauge reading line pressure that gets a mathematical equation thrown at it after? PM me if you want..

Moody - you should build one like Chad did.
 
Well fellas had bit of a hang up. Found a nail in my test cant. So I'm going to see about getting a stock 362 cylinder to compare to in a different piece of wood with a new chain. Luckily it's stihl chain so it can be fixed but this will make showing gains a bit of a challenge.

I don't understand... Why not just cut it out, resharpen chain & go along as planned. I'm confused...

Chain and a new test cant will give different results without a stock cylinder to compare it to. Plus the nail is 6 inches long and there's not much test cant to use.

Correction the nail is 5 inches long after I shaved it

Maybe I missed something.. I still don't see why 5 inches of the log can't be cut out & chain resharpened if your going to run the same b/c on either saw you are comparing. Sounds like alot of trouble over a nail. I can't be the only one confused here or am I? I was that kid in high school... so maybe.

Oh, wait, are you saying it will give different results compared to an already recorded video of this project & now that you've dug into you can't go back for a stock video to go off of? If that's the case I can understand a little difference. Honestly i would just hand file it razor sharp again.

What type of chain is it?

The cylinder is no longer stock. So the results will be different. It's my next step in the process. The squish set at .020 with port work. The step after that would be cut squish band and final port work. It was Stihl RS and it's buggered up pretty well.

I would at least put a new chain on the saw and get an idea of how it runs. How bad off was the chain you were using before you hit the nail anyway? Did you mess up the cylinder you have? I've done it more than once, no shame in that if you make it right with the owner.

Right Right, I understand. Was the chain brand new or was it a hand grind done by yours truly? What is keeping you from using the same cant, is there knots or something 5 inches down from where you struck gold?

The cylinder is fine. The stock cylinder was so I can get a new test log and chain to get fair results. On the other hand the chain needs help.

There's not enough wood left to clamp down. The chain was hand filed. It looks like a good candidate for a lot of grinding. Believe it or not that's one of the better ones.

Not enough wood? What the heck did you do to the thing, get hungry? In that last video it looked pretty long.. Lol You could always just flip the log without cutting it & it won't lose any length, maybe a little girth though, but if it's that short already you probably weren't gunna have enough length to run the Smackdown through it anyways.

I don't know what to tell ta about the chain. In that pic it looks like a chain with only a few filings on it. If you can get all the cutters legit & even it will be worn down to the area I like to think of as the sweet spot & it will just make your work look better.. If you can't, just grab a new RS & give it a few filings, you have what you started with...

Now stop chewing on you comparison cants! =P
 
Yeah but aren't you going to do a side by side with the broken in 562 you have? If it ain't 100% & the 562 comes out on top, poor Magic Mike is never going to hear the end of it!! He'll be left defending his beloved 362 for eternity!! Hahaha...
That's what he gets for putting his 362 against a real saw. :popcorn:
 
Holy cow that's going to be an expensive test if ya need a stock cylinder for a fair test. No nails or dull chain to worry about in a dyno test. Good luck Moody

Well I like to keep extra cylinders of saws around. Enjoy your dyno. I hope you guys enjoyed the thread. Someone else can go buy a 362cm and put it on your dyno and port it. I've got other saws to build and I've had my fill of the "Dyno koolaid"
