As long as you have a nice arch to the roof of the port and just a sliver of the port edge open you may be able to get away with just a different piston. Maybe a meteor piston or a piston from @Duke Thieroff will have enough skirt width?
I was so flustered with the car I only drove it once all last year(and the electric fan quit). So many hours of time and lots of money essentially wasted. I’d be $2k ahead if I’d just done this the first time.
Anybody want an LS swap factory stand alone harness with an ecm, O2 sensors and...
The modified oem engine management system needed to be tuned with HP tuners. I paid to have 2 different guys try to tune the car and the one guy tried 3x and the car just never ran right. Now I’m doing what I should have done in the first place and installing a Holley terminator X system.
Another thing I just thought of is that you could likely get a heated handle 572 and a light weight bar for close to the same price as a regular 462. Heated handles would be so nice to have especially with your location.
In the current new saw market stihl is considerably more money compared to husky.
The flip side is that for the last couple years husky parts supply has really sucked. Parts that used to take a few days to get are now sometimes taking weeks to months.
With that said I’d still be tempted to...
Doesn’t look to bad at all imo. I’ve seen much worse looking.
Only thing off hand I’m noticing is that the top handle is leaning slightly to the flywheel side.
Maybe have a close look at the rear AV mount and make sure it’s in good condition and the screws are tight.
I wouldn’t waste time and money on the Chinese manifold and pick up line. From my experience they will work to just make a saw run for a short while but the rubber usually won’t last especially with ethanol fuel. The fit and finish is sub par at best.
Buy once, cry once and be done with it...
You’ve lowered that cylinder a mile. How’s the ROD(ring of death) to piston ring looking?
You’re upper transfers will be huge raising them that much but that isn’t always an issue as long as you don’t going through the transfer roof trying to get the angles.
With the piston a BDC how much...
How much oil is in the cylinder?
What’s the squish clearance?
To much oil above the ring can essentially cause hydro lock especially with a tight squish clearance.
