Thanks for going through all this!! I’ve got two dump find 55’s and two 028’s from the same place. Already did a custom muffler on the 55 which turned out great! Next will be the pop up piston and mild port work on the stock jug. I really liked that saw you did for Dan👍

Dan’s has a 55 pop up piston and some port work. It is definitely a great runner. There is quite a bit of work that goes with the 028 piston swap, they are not a direct bolt on a go.

I may have to buy a piston yet… haven’t tore down the 028’s yet to see if they are any good but they’ve got good compression and I’ve had em both running so 🤞 should be a fun journey! Been saving up parts for this for a couple years and watching your vids is really helpful 👍 thanks JK!

So do you really need to cut a relief for the spark plug? Got a hyway CP cylinder and went for the 028 because squish was horrible on the hyway kit, 0.058 if i aint mistaken, now with a 0.015 gasket i'm at 0.023 with the 028 piston, but i'm not touching the spark plug, should i still notch a dimple in it or leave it as is?

I bought a new rancher 55 in 2000. Spent more time putting the chain back on the rollertip bar than I did sawing. Next day bought a new non roller tip bar. It never oiled the chain enough to suit me. I tore all that loosey goosey VI stuff loose. Its now in a 51 housing. Engine still runs good. Dont use it very much. I would rather use my 68CC 1967 Lombard or a 58 cc super XL automatic. Me and roller tip bars and plastic saws dont get along very well.

I ended up with a .010 base gasket to get to .020 squish, the popup was actually hitting the chamber with no gasket. With the .010 gasket I was able to get away with just a second gasket on the plug. I've kind of always felt my built 55 was a turd, even when it was bone stock, now it's just a polished one... LOL

This one does all right. It’s defiantly not the powerhouse that I think it should be. It would probably do a lot better if I would put the 325 chain on it.

You could probably get by using the base gasket and .030 squish. That way you dont have to index the plug or relief the piston.
