If I were to put a different head on my West Bend 820, so that the plug screwed into the head straight up and down, instead of at 45°, would it make more power?

Or you could just put a Stihl emblem on the side

So its center fired? I dont think that will change anything as for power. If it were a different head clearance changing compression maybe

Yes, center fired in both scenarios, one at 45°, other at 90°

Plug is firing central, flame spread would be center out, both plug angles. Would be a different story if plug was off set on one and not the other, slower flame front, compared to the center plug.

I know it's Friday, but its never to early to think about the weekend. What is everybody's weekend looking like so far? Hopefully it will be something more exciting than what I'm doing. Have a matlab assignment due, and a solidworks project designing a model windmill to finish up.

Going to use 2 old John Deere tractors and a wood splitter to make about 6 cords of firewood for the winter.

A meth lab, man, just advertise it.
Opening day rifle season, deer, hunting, may work on a saw, may burn more brush/timber piles.

Yupp pretty sure he just covertly said he is making a methlab that will run off windmill power [emoji848]

Uh, sorry but if I was running a meth lab, why would I be in school again. We all know crime pays better than hard work.

So you can make it proper. [emoji28]

And the teacher wants you to build it as a project. [emoji38]

Just kidding, don't know what a matlab is.

Matlab is a really powerful caculator basically. But instead of typing in numbers and equations, it acts more like a computer program where you have to input code. It's super painful learning, although it is quite enjoyable to see a code you have been debugging for an hour or more finally works. Hardest two credit course I've ever taken.

So you can build it bigger, better, and safer. We know how y’all roll

It's not a saw, I'm sorta disappointed. Naa guns and saws are both cool. It looks a lot of fun. Now if only Tapatalk would load both images not just one...

I love me some Ruger revolvers and I love that one has 8 shots, which seems odd but I think that’s normal for a large frame .38 special right? Nonetheless just a beautiful piece! Congrats!
