first time portin...

Cylinder looks good. The piston by the time you clean it up smooth will be trash more than likely.

 

Thank you fur your input....lol...that's what I did to get this saw goin...I took a different jug, different piston, different rings and put them in this saw and jb wielded the dog bolts and dogs to the saw...I run it like this fur about 7 months...made me a lot of money. I am tearin it down because I want to replace the clutch side of the crank with a good used one so I don't have to have the dogs jb wielded in. Do it while waitin fur parts....I thought I would try portin the cylinder and run it on this saw...until I get the other crank case side...if it blows becouse I did somethin wrong, no worries, it was a spare...hopefully I will learn what I did wrong and correct it....lol...thank you fur the help....have a good day...

 

Thank you fur your input...it may be...but I think I will try it just fur chits and giggles...when I get the sand paper...it won't hurt and it will help me to learn...lol...I hope...thank you...

 

On pistons I use scotchbrote in the green, maroon, and then white.

 

Thank you fur your input....nice...thank you fur the tip...do you use any sand paper before you use the pads....thank you....

 

Depends on what it looks like.

 

Thank you fur your input...what would you do with this one...if you was to do it...pad or sand paper....how would you clean the top of the piston... thank you...

 

Good mornin friends....I still have more questions... Lol...when I hog this out more...do I make it flush like this one...and can I hog more from hear and to the right... ...to the left on this side and at the bottom... Thank you....

 

You want everything smooth transitions. No edges or shelves to disrupt flow.

 

Thank you fur your input...ok....I will try... Thank you...

 

Ok...I pulled a crank out of a 372xp I tore down fur a rebuild project...how can I tell if the crank and connectin rod and bearin are still good...thank you...

 

Thank you fur your input...awesome...thank you very much...

 

You have the tools to pull a saw case apart?

 

Thank you fur your input...yes I do...I have to 2 372s split and waitin fur parts...I split the case on my 268xp and replaced the bearings and seal...

 

Good evenin friends,
I worked the jug a couple of hours today...that's about the best I can get it fur now and fur the tools I have...there still some demples in doth sides.,.one more than the other.... Should I take more out...if so...where at...thank you..

 

How can you tell...any one...thank you...

 

Is there any play?

 

Soak the piston in seafoam or carb cleaner to get the carbon off the top.

I'm no saw Porter, but you want there to be no steps or edges in those ports. You're getting there though if you compare to mdavlee's cylinder he showed a few posts back.

 

A little play side to side is generally alright but any play of the rod up and down on the crank and the bering is shot.
