Im new to this porting saws but i love it and i appreciate what you have done with the videos. Its giving me a good education and great start. Im a truck driver and not home alot but thats gonna change soon and this hobby hopefully one day will turn into a second job. Thanks again for your help
I wish people would stop with the torque vs horsepower argument. Torque is a force value, horsepower is a speed and force value. You can't have one without the other, like volts and amps. If you are walking or running you are moving the same amount of weight but running requires much more power than walking. Consider this, a chainsaw at wot but not in the wood actually makes virtually no horsepower because there is no torque being created, there is no load.
Thankyou very much for sharing. I picked up a couple of points there that saved me a whole lot of experimental work. I'm running too much blow down and too much intake duration. Both easily fixed.
Will order that book today if it's not over-MSRP (last time I saw one I wanted, the 2 available copies were >$300, a-holes!!), thanks for the reco, wanted one for a while now just never found one w/ endorsement I could trust (and I can't recall your name on OPE but have little doubt you're an authoritative voice there!) Hoping there's some at-home planing machine I could use for dropping cylinders, will make all the diff in the world (for my 660 cyilnders I should be able to figure-out something, since it's flat, but my cs590 - which is "done", but'll be "really done" once its motoseal'd base's 0.027" squish is dropped to ~18thous, but it has those flanges that drop-into the bottom-end casing so cannot just flat-machine the base :/ ) Your videos are just so top-tier thanks a ton, was a bit overwhelmed with my 3-figure number of OPE tabs on my computer right now, brain-overload had me using inferior TH-cams so I could at least stay on-track (things came early, (3) 660 cylinders landed this afternoon, 2 regular pistons & 1 pop-up, and the g660 so I now I have the 2 working bases, one generic & one built by an OPE member from a prior GTG), was/am so stoked to get OPE-level information on TH-cam can't believe I didn't find you sooner!! Thanks a ton, again, for all you've uploaded, so much great content shared for free, what TH-cam/social media is/should be all about!!!
At around 15:00 in the video you talk about velocity ,would this be the same for say a 036,034?slowing the fuel charge down?036 Im working given ex is 146 would this allow me to widen?
Love the series, thanks for sharing
your explanations are on a different level. much appreciated sir

5 :40 I remember in small engines class my teacher used to say. “Torque moves mass, horsepower is just an equation”. Thanks for these videos!
Finally some info about porting that is actually performance based and educated. Thank you!! Best info I’ve stumbled across yet on the Tube. 👍🏼
Just got in touch with Dan about purchasing a few of these rediguns. Thanks for the shameless plug.

Great information!! Thanks
I like these explanation videos. I didn't realize there was so many different things to consider. Thanks for taking time to explain some stuff
thanks for sharing Scott . just out of curiosity I haven't seen any videos on the 362c-m what kind of gains are you seeing with that saw

Thanks for making my saw scream!
Love those videos!
Scott what epoxy do you use?
I don’t see a 4” angle grinder and any “velocity porting” no way you’re any good at porting..... 🙄🙄(sarcasm)..
