Stihl 038 Magnum, setting the exhaust port timing.

[@andrewperez2473]

The shots of your porting is the best. I’m so glad you’ve taken the time to share. I’m learning a lot here.

[@imperfectcuts7028]

Love the breakdowns of everything tinman. Awesome camera angles and explaining.

[@tinmanssaws]

Thanks, I really try to show what I'm doing.

[@earlhouse4458]

Sure am glad you are doing this "class"! You are explaining this very well! And to boot, a elderly friend of mine gave me three 038's, of course all of them have been in the shed for 20+ years but they are not locked up and still have excellent compression!

[@donziperk]

For getting into the corners to get that last carbon out I have a tool that Amazon sells. They are sanding cones that are rolled up emery paper with a hole in the middle. They wind onto an arbor that comes with the kit. They work great for getting in small radius corners.

[@Chuckrussell75]

Thanks, dude. I've used your tricks & tips for some time now, & appreciate it. Hope you guys & the baby are well.

[@tinmanssaws]

Wow thankyou Chad, your support means a lot.

[@justinweaver8787]

Good job on the port design i also think that by the exhaust startn to evacuate in the center it will flow better.

[@DaveyBlue32]

Hey big guy… you try the little 1” wide by 2” strip of 3m scotch brite… in your split mandral or a flattened cotter pin… spray it with WD40 and spray WD40 on your exhaust port and polish it up… your metal makes a paste and it’ll polish up like glass in two passes and 5 minutes… saves a shit load of time polish up the exhaust! I use the marker and then scratch my little line… my marker is basically the machinist dye!!! 😉👍

[@230e4]

Thorne, that is top secret information! Now everyone will have mirror finished exhaust ports with ease. 👍 Works great on old aluminum rims too.

[@DaveyBlue32]

@@230e4 well…I’ll tell ya…I made custom jewelry for 20 years before getting into porting saw’s… I’ve definitely learned to polish up metal and can make a port really shine… but nothing I’ve ever seen work’s this fast and easy!!!! Two 3-4 minute sessions with the scotch brite and some WD40 and your damn near up at 1500 step up… and it’s from rough super scratchy and it’s got to be the WD40 and the strip of scotch brite… it’s crazy fast!!! It’s the aluminum grindings being mixed with the waxes of the WD40 and that’s creating a self feeding aluminum oxide buffing compound with the removed aluminum…freakin polish’s itself into a mirror… a little buff wheel with a little ZAM stick metal polish and it’s glass!!! You need to wipe down the cylinder with acetone to remove the grit because it’s a wax regular soap or degreaser will not cut and remove it completely!!! I love this quick exhaust port hack!!!

[@230e4]

@@DaveyBlue32 that's cool, my better half makes jewelry too. I had a Ford Ranger in high school with aluminum slot wheels, I would clean those wheels up every week with a brillo pad but a mirror finish could not be found until my dad amused by my determination handed me a gallon can of WD-40, a die grinder, and pad. Saved my fingers and rewarded me with the shiniest wheels in the school parking lot. Then I got into mudding and the polishing was over till I grew up.

@@230e4 Right on Brother! You should get up with me on Facebook messenger… so I can get a mailing address and I’ll sort through my bag and mail her a couple of stones. I worked in marketing and I ended up working for the Lapidary Journal magazine and that got me into cutting stones and jewelry… it’s definitely cool stuff and I had several Foredom’s and tooling so it’s been a really fun transition to grinding my aluminum engine’s LMFFAO!!! Building chainsaw engine’s won out! 😂😂😂😂

[@aaronpowell4885]

I like all the old brands of saws and a few newer cheaper names aswell! but lately, I've kinda had the stihl bug and this 038 isn't helping my cravings for yet another chainsaw at all😅 keep e'm coming Tinman👍 so long as it doesn't interfere with your family life. I'm loving every episode!!

[@michaelwhiteoldtimer7648]

Thanks for another great video

[@Chuckrussell75]

I got that exact bore scope, & tach from your video several months ago that you suggested. But I still haven't used the scope for a light. It's quite a slick deal. I am finally in the market for a Fordam. I've been using a dremel with a flex shaft, it's ok ya know. I think having speed control @ my foot will improve my work greatly. Hey thanks for the video sir.

[@tinmanssaws]

Having the foot pedal saves accidents for sure. It's nice to have the tool not running when you're moving in and out of the jug.

[@eurokid83]

The 038 mag was sold up to somewhere in the mid 90’s. I have two, one is a 93 model the other is a 95 model. That’s according to the serial number anyway.

When it comes to older saws. Which brands are the best for porting and take a hop-up ??? Thanks Tinman.

[@tinmanssaws]

Honestly they all can be ported and get good gains. I'd say macs are the hardest to port only because of their design.

[@victoryfirst2878]

@@tinmanssaws How are remingtons and mall ?? Very nice work on your videos Tinman.

[@tinmanssaws]

@@victoryfirst2878 remingtons are basically homelite clones so no problem there. Malls are really old in most cases, May be hard to get gains and keep reliability with something that old.

"Goldilocks chamfer. Not too big, not too small, just right"

[@marcustraber]

Hey Tiffany! Thanks for another great video. Do you think the sandpaper whip in the split shaft is a good chamfering tool? I sort of discovered that by accident when polishing the exhaust port, saves the fingers and is usually much smoother than factory cylinder.

Stihl Oil = Stihl Carbon 😉

[@Jonathan-bf6nh]

From what I understand the extra carbon is from using Stihl oil.

The stihl oil is Too Good. It'll build carbon if left at idle long. I've been told wide open or not at all if running stihl oil
