    What was the squish ?
    What thickness gasket ?

    It seems like everyone has the green "T" handle torx and the red plastic ring compressor and piston/rod cradle.
    That looks like one of the cleanest assembly jobs anyone ever posted pics of. :thumbs:

    Squish was about .022-.020 without a gasket. Gasket is .5mm, so about .02. I decided to run it stock for awhile. And then see what was what.

    I like this whole chainsaw hobby thing. The low cost of entry and near instant gratification compared to fooling with cars or motorcycles. Of course piddling with saws has got me thinking about picking up a dirt bike project. I need to stop looking at my Craigslist app..
