    I'm sure the engineers at Stihl could embarrass many of these "porting gurus" something fierce were they allowed to let it all hang out !

    True. But when you get to make the cylinder you can size & time exactly how you want. These guys do an pretty good job of making what there given work.

    Just got into work -5* and 4-7 inches of snow in the forecast. I want a hot saw, I just don't want to wonder if it is going to blow up at any moment. I want some life out her, 2,000 hours is 8 hours a day 5 days a week for 50 weeks. I am not saying that would be nice. I understand a hot motor can limit longevity pending on builder. I am intently paying close attention to what ya'll are saying. If I can increase my cut times, this seems like a win. My days up here are about 6 hours of light, and I would like to get the most out of that time.

    I know where a low use 372xp with full wrap is in BC. I ported the jug for the guy but he went back to 390s. Very good runner.

    I believe a buddy of mine @ ColdTriggerFinger has a mdavlee saw. I have two brand new less than one month old Stihls, a 261c and 441r cm both on their 2nd tank of gas. I may be interested in that saw, any additional information?

    50mm old style jug and piston. 215 lbs of commpression. Dual ring piston. Set up as an xpw. I think he put the jug on a low hour 365 special bottom end.

    That's not to say after 2000hrs it's junk ... a new crank ; seals ; piston/cylinder and you're back in the game ! It's just most run em for a year and sell em 1/2 price and buy the newest saw on the market ... probably cut yourself a mountain of wood in 2000 hrs lol

    May sound funny that he is my neighbor one town over, 150 miles between towns. Was trying to talk him into moving back to Tok. He was giving me some advise on filing a square chain. Sure you don't want to port a saw? Thanks,Tom.

    I have seen some of those for sale around here. I cant imagine how much wood can be cut in 2,000 hours.
