Yeah - expecting to have some minor repairs to tighten her down. She supposedly is pretty true .................... will see in a few more weeks

I am waiting on funds for an old Atlas .................. lathe aint goin anywhere, and the dude already said he would hold on to it untill I grab the cabbage. Once I have some time on it, I am sure I will be tinkering around with some "custom" pistons as well. I agree with end results - many...

My 044 is a runner !! If my 038 comes out as well (or better ?) then I will be very happy !!!! No raised domes yet for me - just the usual - clean up squish, clean up base, some port work. Nothing radical, just a working & reliable work saw !! I had OT last month - gotta get it while the...

Thanks Al !! Thats about how I did my 044, got a close to 60% width and eyeballed the rest, 99 on exhaust and 115 on the transferrs

Thanks Al !! I see what you are referencing now. Nice work on the exhaust ...... did you do that by eye, or did you take painstaking measurements ?

There are usually 2 valves on a compression tester. One at the plug hole and one at the gauge. The one at the plug hole stops the compressed air from going back into the cylinder - so bleeding down does not occurr. The one at the gauge is to release pressure in the hose, due to the one at the...

NICE !!!! My 044 is running 165 dead cold ......... I would imagine that they both run pretty well alike ! My 038 Mag hasnt been checked since I threw away my old compression tester, so I will clean her up this weekend and get a cold reading.

Those numbers are very similar to what I have on my 044 !! Any idea on what your cold compression is with that customized piston and combustion chamber ?

I have a super smoothe 044 (32" / RS) that I ported as well, and my 038 Mag has new AV rubbers - installed the beginning of this summer. I tried an 8 pin sprocket with my 25" RS on the 038, the 7 pin was slightly better. Once ported, I'd imagine the 8 pin will stay on it. I run .375 also, .050...

Is this so one can really smell a "dirty" saw, or will it actually start smelling like fresh strawberries ?? :lol:

thanks woodworkingboy ! I am going to stay with the 038 Mag for now ................... but I will be looking into your hybrid 034 with 036 P&C. Are you running 404 with the 36" B&C ? I just about have enough cabbage for an older Atlas 10" used lathe .................... then I will be going...

Thanks Al !! I plan on using eithor a Meteor piston, or the stock Stihl one. I'd like my squish near 20 thousands, and am looking in the 155ish neighborhood for intake and exhaust duration. I am curious about your blowdown, as I was planning on a shorter one, however - yours runs real nice with...

Can you go into specific details on the tweaks ............... poer timing, ignition timing, etc ??
