So I hate the idea of porting and wrecking vintage parts.. But when you have alot of not so good parts around.. Why not do a garbage saw port job! Took the good cylinder and piston off this vi200, took a not too horrible cylinder, no scoring but a chip below exhaust port, then when through my collection of scored 1-13/16 pistons and found the largest diameter one for the tightest fit, inlarged transfers, raised exhaust, and gasket delete, file fit husqvarna 55 rings for a nice fit, and it's getting a husqvarna 55 coil for a little more timing advance, giving motoseal 24hrs, will assemble it tomorrow night then hope break the rings in Saturday, maybe it will blow up, maybe it will be amazing.. Lol either way all for fun.. I am a little concerned how high the compression is reading.. And I'll point out I know principals of porting but have not done it, and realize I have no business using a Dremel with a carbide burr. Lol    |

Now that's what I call compression! I'll bet it's tough to pull over.

Hoping to have it all together for this weekend but apparently I have covid, so much for fully vaccinated.. Lol, been tired |

I'm pretty sure I had Covid last month.I came down with chills on New Year's Eve & I swear I slept through most of Jan.I had a dry cough (still have it,but slightly now),I was vaccinated too.I never bothered to go get tested,for what?So their stats can get padded?I hope you're feeling better Kevin!

It's not bad, have had colds that have been alot worse, just power out early, still optimistic I'll get saw together and get it in wood, also supposed to go pick up a pair of blue xl-1s this weekend |

I would agree with your claim about the Dremel and the carbide, but it's your saw, do what you like. I'm always in for an adventure. Good luck with the disease.

With that kind of compression, if the porting works out, it oughta scream.
I'm not familiar with the VI200. Does it have compression release?
