    And this is what you are paying for. Knowledge. Its very easy to give someone "numbers". Two saws built to the same "numbers" will never run the same.

    Yes there are other variables involved between saws but one has to have a working knowledge of how all the aspects coordinate together.

    I will not let a saw leave my bench after porting it if I would not keep it for myself. That includes paying up to swap parts so the saw is right.

    Yes that is true if you are going to cut the squish band and cut the base of the cylinder then it is going to require some machinist skills and a lathe. Not something everyone has. The 250.00 does not look to bad then. But if you going to just work the ports that is a different story.

    I spoke with Red97 and he said he is not taking work for 1year or more. Do any of you guys have experience with these things or may want to give it a try?

    I've got a 680 that I believe is just a new version of the 670. It's just barely broken in. It's already a fun little s@#$ but I would be interested in having it's guts tweaked.

    These were before the bad plastic. Iirc the only plastic is clutch cover and top cover.

    Lots o metal on these saws. Especially the older ones
