BEFORE YOU PORT YOUR SAW WATCH THIS!

After years of folks asking this is a list of safe numbers to use when porting you saw.
these are not set in stone and are only a rough guess but should get you in a safe area.
thanks for watching

[@lehibell6176]

One of the best porting videos ive seen yet, thanks for all you share !!

[@jefferyfunk3598]

Ive watched a lot of porting vids by many. This is by far the most informative and confirmed vid on porting numbers.

[@coxsaws]

Very good break down on the port timming and target duration

[@eze.Morning_Wood_Farms]

Great information! Wish I would've known this before I was porting saws. Saved me some trouble for sure. Enjoy your content. Thanks

[@rileyjohnston8393]

I have an 036 oem cylinder that has 159 intake duration stock which I thought was a lot. I opened up the lower transfers, raised and widened exhaust, and Hyway pop up piston. 18 thou squish with no gasket and has 185lbs compression, runs so well and isn’t finicky to tune. With an 18” bar it will outcut most stock 70cc saws. Cool video tinman

[@Grayhawk1976]

Getting ready to do one myself. What timing numbers did you end up with?

[@rileyjohnston8393]

[@Grayhawk1976]

Thank you sir 👌

[@stevebernard7267]

You are awesome! Thank you so much for sharing this information. After carefully watching your videos I’ve now ported 6 saws and have been very successful with the exception of one which I screwed up all by myself. Thanks brother!!!

[@addictedtosteel4673]

First, woohoo. Like these videos as it gives me a good idea of where to start

[@tdawg8605]

Again, nice to know the ball park numbers along with possible ranges and characteristics on either side of the ranges. Very interesting indeed. Thank you for sharing. TC Mahalo Tinman 🤙🤙🤙

Thank you sir!!! This is some super information. 👍

[@jonathanhall136]

Thanks Tinman. 👍

[@coolestguyontheplanet723]

Awesome 😊 Thanks 😊 Now , about the other little tricks😊

[@andrewperez2473]

Professor, you da man. Thanks for the extra effort in detail and comparison. My saws are running great because of your channel. My 630 Jred was out of use for a long time. You should see it go now. Thanks again.

[@whitey523]

Thanks Tinman for all of this work and info. I’ve been watching and reading everything on power saws after playing and catching the bug. Diesel mechanic by trade so this is quite the change, if it wasn’t for guys like you helping us out the curve would be quite steeper.

[@coxsaws]

Great breakdown on durations! Thank you Tinnman

[@chainsawcanuck]

Great video, will help a lot of people out 👍👍

[@davidcarberry3547]

my 38 s is at 96 you can get there quick and i did the big lower transfers and light piston , it works well , thank god i guess it;s not hard to say how did i do that, love this stuff

[@TheJohnDeereGuy]

Excellent video! Definitely will use this video for future reference. Thanks Tinman.

[@justincredible7168]

Thanks Bud!

[@jaape5806]

Hallo Tinman, Can you do a dolmar ps 5105. I'm curious what you think of the chainsaw. And what you can add in power. Thanks for all your videos

[@ryanbruner8928]

I am all for porting your saws if you like, but I personally don't need to do it, In my part of Montana we have Spruce, pine, and such and in town where I live we have Cottonwood,Grey Poplar and ash, so there was never anything that my MS 460 wouldn't easily cut, and I was not into racing! Tin Man, I think it's great the info that you put out for everyone!

[@MemphisMechanic]

The difference in how a 460 pulls a 32-36” bar after a base gasket delete and porting job at 80/100/120-125? Absolutely incredible. I am not pushing you to port it, as the 460 is a fantastic saw when stock. But as someone who runs long bars in TN red oak all day long? Ported saws WILL spoil you.

[@ryanbruner8928]

I only ran a 25" bar on it, but I imagine I may think differently if my situation was similar to yours?@@MemphisMechanic

[@MemphisMechanic]

@@ryanbruner8928 building a warmed up saw isn’t something that’s required. Until you run one, and get addicted to the torque and chain speed. My work truck has an Echo 355T, Husky 346XP, 372XP, 395XP, and MS460 on it. All ported / built. I clearly have a problem. I used to build engines in trucks I owned back in the day. Building saws has been the same fun, on the cheap. (I bought all of those saws blown-up for under $300 and repaired.)

[@lonnieholbert8898]

Thanks for touching on "smaller: saws. 60 is a "bigger"saw in Oklahoma.

[@lonnieholbert8898]

Great vid, very helpful. Typicly, I start seeing where the bottom of the top(or only) ring, mark the bottom of the piston with a pencil and that gives me the max room to adjust. Generally Ill adjust the most from the exhaust. What do you think?

[@rogerstafford-wakeinc.2088]

Amen!!! and Well see you when that limb becomes a tiny twig!!!! Stilh here for years!’

[@CardozerUSA]

Great video Tinman! What about smaller saws and top handles in the 30-40cc range. Still about 2 degrees every 10ccs?

[@kraftzion]

My armchair quarterback thoughts. On the sachs, if it is anything like the newer ones it will respond to a high exhaust roof. The reason being the high velocity, turbulence, and compression on the intake side coupled with a combustion chamber and squish band that also promotes very good mixing results in excellent atomization of the fuel. This makes for a fast flame front travel speed. The pulse is shorter with a higher pressure spike. In the same vein tighter squish, more squish area, higher compression, tighter lower cases all contribute to being able to raise the exhaust roof with good results. These are my theories. I think all Makita saws come from the factory with to low of an exhaust roof for the internal design.

[@GavinShugarts]

First off I like the info in your videos. Are you in arborsite? I have a husky 288 that I have been playing with for a while. And see you have quite a few videos on them and would like make it perform the best it can.

[@tinmanssaws]

Hi, thanks for checking out my video. I don't use any forums or Facebook these days.

[@Joe_Swinko]

make sure you number the video titles to have consistency. pt 1, pt 2, pt 3 etc. and add to your playlists. it makes it easier to find follow up videos later

[@steveriggenbach90]

Great information, thanks for sharing. Do you fill gas tanks all the way or leave air gap? Super Bowl?

[@S2king-custom]

Can we apply these concept to our 2 stroke (120cc) motorcycle ? Or this is only for 2t saws ?

[@Stihltippin044]

Tin man! Rebuilding my 362, piston was junk but the cylinder is salvageable. Going to try my hand at widening up the ports without messing with the timing numbers. Will that work or is it more effort than it’s worth?

[@James-oi1yd]

Does adding a pop up piston change how far you can go on the intake due to the extra compression

[@joshkirk8828]

Great vid

[@johnt9684]

Great video how much material is removed to to gain 1 degree

[@tinmanssaws]

That's a great question, 1 degree varies by how long you saws stroke is and where in the stroke you are measuring the timing.

[@longbar105d]

Like it👍

[@wildmanturner]

How did you modify the clutch to compensate for the higher RPM?

[@tinmanssaws]

You cam drill them to decrease the weight which will usually increase the rpm before engagement. Or shorten the spring which gives it more force and increases the rpm before engagement once again .

[@wildmanturner]

That’s what I figured. Never thought about it until I watched this video. But makes sense. Good to know if you ever go a little too far on intake. Thanks Tinman.

You could have a few race saws. look how many saws you have! Maybe you might learn something that would apply to your work saws if u did a few race saws?

[@maccrigdon6111]

Ain’t got no gas in it. Mmhhmmm

Hey Tinman can you msg me I have a 038magmun I'd like ported and I know you like those Saws but would like to know your location if I could send it and prices please. Thanks love the videos lots of great info

[@tinmanssaws]

Hi thanks for the message. I don't actually take any work from the public. There's no way I could fit more into my schedule. Take er easy

[@margietillman]

*PromoSM* 😎

[@55210TwoDoor]

Just timed my hyway 52mm 372. No basegasket and it has got 180* of intake duration. That seems wild to me. Rest of the numbers go as follows. Ex open 101* ATDC 156* duration Int open 72* ABDC 180* duration Transfer open 136* ATDC 108* duration Blowdown at 25*

[@edoardo6335]

Check again your numbers, you have an intake duration of 144 (72*2)

[@darrellhenderson913]

Hey Tinnman I need some guidance. Can I get your email address please

[@ИльяМамонов-ъ3е]

Yesterday I tested my first modified cylinder on a 372. It's a Chinese cylinder. The numbers turned out like this: Squish 0.02 Intake -82 (164) E-98 (164) TR-122 Blowdown 24 I started it on 92 gasoline. While I was setting it up, I felt unstable behavior of the motor. As a result, it was pulled up and the cylinder was thrown into the trash. He never saw the tree! Now I'm trying to understand what was the reason? Low octane gasoline or too high intake duration 164?
