What's on your bench today?

[spudulike]

there u go ben

was thinking about taking the danarm 1-71-ss but 4 saws is just to many

 

Thats a big one Martin and the bar is quite long as well:lol:

 

Thats it - bed beckons

Just finished the muffler mod on the 357XP, it is the shotgun outlet that looks quite nice IMO, fired up the saw and wow - loud indoors, very responsive on the throttle and 190psi compression measured but expect this to drop to 180psi once the oil in the bore has burnt off.

 

Idle is fine - this is just on factory settings at the moment - just need to put the clutch etc on the saw - came up pretty clean in the end and looks and sounds great.

 

Getting near the 30K views mark on this thread - must be doing something right:thumbup:

Just wanted to say a big thanks to all contributors to this thread - been very interesting and informative for a newby amateur like me

 

Just by way of a little diversion that may be of interest to the engineering types here, heres a little something I was sent a while ago from a collegue..........

and no, this is definitely not on my bench

That must be an engine out of a ship?

Spot on again Spud.

When I said little though I meant it as pictured is the 6 cylinder, but they go up to 14 cylinder.

Got some statistics on it, but the numbers are just ridiculous.

spud, any ideas why the 357 seem to leak oil even when not running, i have stripped mine down and cant find a fault and seems to be a common problem from my experience anyway

the 357 is starting to look real good mate :thumbup1:

I have seen the chain adjuster wear a hole in the side of the oil tank before - I thoroughly cleaned the area and repaired with JB weld. Other than that, it may be the compression fit of the oil pipe between the crank case and the stainless cover - is the small foam pad still on the top of the pipe union?

Will have to take a look to be honest but i expect i will leave it before it comes to you for some spud treatment
