Treemonkey Is A Genius

Ya i have used alauminum Devcon it at work as well,expensive but can machine,drill @ tap what ever you like.
The only concern is to work out a way to make sure it stays there.
Constant heat expand cool and shrink will give it a work out.

We have never had a problem with it as long as surface is cleaned and prepped well

That combined with engine vibrations and being in a constant fuel environment.

No way am I saying it wont work though...I dont want to be mis read here.

Simply saying that Id rather have a little less performance than the epoxy.

I'm not familiar with the aluminum stuff, but the way Randy stands behind his work would make me unconcerned about having a saw ported this way. I'd like to see a 390/395/661 showdown before the monkey-logic 590 makes it's appearance

When will the 590 be here?

 

[MechanicMatt]

Of course he is, look at his avatar! 1911's are fun, but I bet that other monkey is having more fun.

Noone that might know are allowed to tell anything - if it exists among the saws that are out for "operator trials" .....

Cmon Troll! If anybody would have heard you would know!! Lol

I haven't heard anything more than most on here - there may or may not be different sizes of new models out for testing....

,,,and if I had, I couldn't tell about it!

Anyone that has been to scotts place has a hard time leaving. Just listening to the stories he has to tell and the amount of knowledge that comes from them stories is amazing. I'm glad he is a couple hour drive from me or I would never be home.

I'm not a new saw kinda guy, or a $1200 saw kinda guy, but that 661 is pretty sweet. I'd like to spend a day running it along side my Landrum'd 385 and SuperMike 288 to see how it "works".

How about running a small countersunk screw in radially from the outside of the intake spout, so that the threaded end protrudes into where the epoxy fill is? The epoxy would form around that threaded end and have more to grip on - like a retaining pin into the fill.

Randy i think ya better put down for the lift.


How does it make such a big differance ?.

It allows more case compression.......really just simple two stroke theory at work.

I like that idea.

Durand.....I'm not sure I like the idea either.

BUT.......with this large of a gain......I think I'll be doing a lot of it.

Now to figure out how to be sure it ain't coming loose.

R&D engineers use over kill/abuse to test their stuff. Freeze that cyl. job then torch it?

The epoxy being used here is pretty high quality so I doubt it would be a problem, however, be selective on the screw selection as some fastener coatings/finishes will inhibit proper adhesion and could actually cause more of a problem than they fix. The screw can act as a start point for failure if it is not adhered to it well. I think it will work, just giving my 2 cents that's worth about 1 cent.

That is a very good gain.

I guess I always look at the worst case scenario in everything. My Dad calls me Negative Nancy from time to time lol.

I also tend to go overkill sometimes...when its probably not needed....but then I feel like I dont have to worry about it...ever.

Im a wierdo

How thick is the playdoh?

I like playgoh on toast!

Have you considered one of the aluminum brazing techniques ? Many folks poo-poo that stuff, but I've used it with success to repair aluminum radiators several times. http://www.muggyweld.com/

Can you imagine what would happen if an aftermarket cylinder manufacturer started making cylinders to Masterminds timing numbers? I bet stihl's head would explode.

It would at least give them some torque!
