Hi all,

 

I have both the above saws and are both very impressive but anyone ported either of them or see any benefits of porting them?

My 576 is an amazing saw, it sounds like a moto x bike!! It has soooo much power. Get it ported!!

Since pete did my 560 there have been no problems whatsoever and it goes like a freshly greased pig down a slide !

Are we takling about porting the cylinders in- and outlets and transfers or "just" muffler modding it ??

Now there is a question, I have done both plus done a pop up piston in addition!

 

The term "Porting" generally means the ports are widened, flowed and in some cases, the timing changed. Pop up pistons can be machined, squish bands can be machined or simply the base gasket can be left out depending on the saw!

 

A change to the flow of an exhaust, generally is covered under Muffler Mod (MM).

 

Some saws benefit from an ignition advance but would add this to "Porting"!

Hi, both the 560/576xp saw go well with a bit of work on them, if you want one doing drop me a PM

I know it's a dolly but you get the idea it's running a 20"bar
