If I'm not bothering to split the case and do bearings, I flush the bottom end with premix and spin the crank around. I always get silver sparkles flushed out even on the nicest saws. Try it next time you do a top end. You would be surprised what comes out.
Nice video, good to see you back on the bench. Any saw, any time, grinding, timing, talking theory and assembly, run and tune, awesome stuff always. TC Mahalo Tinman 🤙🤙🤙
Hey Tinman! Hope all is well, I'm not much of a Stihl guy. However, you could tune a battery saw and I'd still be intrigued. Do you have or plan on marketing any merchandise?
Hi Tinman.I want to ask you if i don't put on the piston the bottom ring, a little bit of fuel mixture, traveling from the groove to exhaust port.Thank you and happy Christmas from Greece.
Hello master (395 xp), I want to enlarge the inner diameter of the cylinder by 2 mm... What is the tolerance between the cylinder and the piston in mm? I am trying to get a good compressor... I would be very happy if you answer, it is very important for me... Thank you
There is about 15 degrees lower head temps on the same carb tune on a one ring cylinder vs running both rings. That 15 degrees will add a good batch of life to a top end on a ported saw. 20 to 30 degrees over your oil breakdown point will cook your saw.
Do you have a video of dismantling a top handle chainsaw all the way down and rebuilding. I currently have a echo cs 355t I want to replace the piston and ring on
Just rebuilt my blown ms460 with a Meteor piston!......luckily the OEM cylinder really didn't sustain any serious damage... so I wanted the closest thing to OEM piston to mate with it. I'm kind of a snob for authenticity(OEM or Higher Quality aftermarket parts)..... and don't like putting my life behind knock-off or cheap crap as I get older! LOL....spend the money once, be done.
Tinmansaws I've been working on a 2000 Husqvarna 365 special. I rebuilt the carburetor, put new air filter and lines in. (PS. The throttle and choke plates are moving fine.) When I go to start it up it will rev up uncontrollably without me touching throttle. (First time started since 2003-4) Could it be an air leak?
I normally set the bolts in the cylinder right after I set the ring into the cylinder... Before I push it down to the case. Awesome 😎 video sir, as always! You were one of the inspirations behind my channel! Thanks for all the time you put in!!! Be well!!
Good nostalgic video Tinman! Agreed the 460 runs out of wind. Hope the transfer and piston work gets you some R's. With Stihls it is easier to pre-load the cylinder mounting bolts before dropping it onto the piston. If the handle is still on the saw, usually it is impossible to install them with the cylinder on the case.
Picking motoseal off my fingers from reassembling a lil Poulan 2000 top end as I watched lol. Beautiful work! Autta be plenty of turbulence in that intake!
I want to see how this saw does in the wood, I have one that’s finally broken in, I used very similar numbers but added a wiesco piston and finger ports, I’ll be sure to make a video on it soon
Another great video! Quick question does ring gap matter and also circllip positioning 6/12oclock matter I ask cause I just rebuilt a Polaris 800 rmk where it matters
I measure my ring gaps on all engines. Gap is subjective depending on the engine. Circlip openings should be at the 6 o'clock position is how I've always done it.
Ported that saw needs a pipe, mine did. I’ve been running an Iron Horse pipe and it was ok, I made my own version with some internal geometry to it and it ran 15% faster in a cut, the absolute best for an 046 IMHO is a bear claw style pipe they ran the best on my saw
Hi Tinman! Great to see you back at the bench working on a Stihl. I was recently thinking the 1 ring on a 2 ring piston back and forth… the point that worries me is the short circuit the empty ring groove creates inbetween the exhaust port and the upper transfers. Ever thought of putting a smaller ring in just to fill the lower groove?
I can’t wait to see this saw in the wood, my 046 just finished 2 weeks with my buddy being ran really hard, those open transfers really help it, the finger ports did help but the lunged intake was one of the best things I’ve done, the wiesco pistons are also 100% worth it on the 460/046
Nice detail work easy to follow and the nice thing about videos we can stop a go back to check all the steps. Blessings my friend to you and your family. 🙏♥️
Love the content. Learned alot through this channel love it! Question: do 372 non xtorqs benefit from having a bigger carb with work done to the cylinder?
Good video I’ve ran 1 rings as well on a stihl the bottom ring locator is in the way off widening exhaust port and if you do run both rings don’t port to wide on exhaust or ring will hang up eh tinman 🪵👍
Tinman I’ve learned a lot from your videos, many thanks! Now I’ll try to rebuild a 044!

Great work brother !

Would you mind giving out the brand of that kit of new burrs you used? Thanks for the great series!
I use the kids water color paint brush to pre lube the saws inards. Less of a chance to contaminate the moto seal.
Ya buddy!

A 390xp big bore kit? Hmmm, what is this mystery kit that you speak of?
Would love to get my 460 done by tinman!!

I would like to build me a chainsaw or can you build me one ?
J ai commandé un kit Hyway pour ma ms 460 en 54mm et elle fonctionne du tonnerre 😅

I see why Buckin has so much respect for Tinman. A great guy that knows and adores power saws.
Do you hone a new cylinder?
When it’s tight it’s right, when it’s to tight…it’s broke…!!! US Navy torque spec.

I'd bet with certainty that's a pretty large air leak.
I am an Eco man which one do you prefer? I want one built.

If both of those pistons are Meteor, why does the one look like its polished? And the other looks eh?
Because I fit , deburred and flowed one piston to this cylinder. The other is out of the box.
Saya menonton. Saya mau belajar memahami mesin2 gergaji
You are right about the decomp on that saw... it was in the high 60's here yesterday... used decomp, about pulled my hand off 😮 no joke.

One ring, damn. Makes total sense though. I’m gonna try it. Thanks Tinman. Loved the videos from Ohio
I want to see how this saw does in the wood, I have one that’s finally broken in, I used very similar numbers but added a wiesco piston and finger ports, I’ll be sure to make a video on it soon
The source of almost all my knowledge!!🤙🤙 much respect man
Hello Tinman. Keep up the Good work. I allways enjoy your videos. 👍🏻

Thanks rebuilding some 55 ranchers
Appreciate your advice! I also tuned all my saws to your videos! I love my holzfarma g 660 I got a really good running one

Caleb's a lucky guy. Can't wait to see this 460 Tinmanized saw run. Good looking out Tinman. Have to get yer own 4sitty one day

Great stuff, Tinman. Looking forward to the rest of the build, should be a nice saw.
Just getting my ms391 up and running ported myself single ring
Going to saw great , can’t wait. Thanks for talking about one ring. Take care.
How's the Tinman and famley
2nd comment! Haha!..... whatever that means. Noice! 460!
Great video with one of the true legends
Awesome video tinman I just happen to have a 460 and a spare oem cylinder after watching this my gears are turning wish me luck 👍
Hey funny seeing you here bro😂

Hey Mr Rutter good to see ya

With lots of work sometimes yes
