You should take a look at line to line coatings. Might be worth getting them to coat a piston and do some testing. All the break in and blow by talk made me think of this.
Nice Mufflermod, she‘s not screaming loud but f***in fast. Thats what i‘m likin. Great Job on that MK1. Sadly mine is almost stock. The only Stocksaw i own 😂
This is different than the 55 Rancher thing. That was a "builder" challenge. This is more about each individual model of 60cc saw. All slots are filled. Except for a Stihl MS362. Gotta get one of those built for this competition by a known, high-end builder.
