Yes, different saw altogether

Hi Reg

 

3120 sounds like a beast! Do you know how much those mods affect the life expectancy of the saw?

 

Cheers, Dan

Good work can increase the life of a saw. This is because, after opening up the muffler they run cooler.

It is true, a guy in the states ported an 026 Stihl and it ran a couple of degrees cooler after porting due to the exhaust gasses being cleared at a faster rate than before.

 

The opening of the exhaust and inlet ports may cause faster wear on the piston ring but if done within recognised parameters, the saw should have a good lifetime after porting.

Great saw Reg! it's a monster now!

 

By the way, is the saw still on the same chain type? or is it now on semi-skip/full skip chain?

You know what I haven't even checked, chain is almost new and yet to be sharpened.
