The port on the bottom is actually the upper transfe port. The big one above it is the lower. The cylinder is upside down in the picture. The MS460 saw (and most others) operates via piston ports to the lower transfers. Each side of the piston has 2 windows that aim at the lower when at bdc to help with airflow into the case.
Thanks i appreciate the info. Lmao too cheap to buy a phantom
. I wish they would offer a engine only option. Then maybe I would bite. Would rather build from scratch/build my own. Lol or at least attempt once.
Engine only would probably only shave 50 bucks off the price anyway. Never hurts to have spare partsThanks i appreciate the info. Lmao too cheap to buy a phantom
There is one thing to also ask for...Is there a new needle bearing with that jug and piston kit???...If not, it really should be included rather than using the older, already used needle bearing on what your already replacing...Needle bearings really need to be included with these jug and piston, wristpin replacements but many times are not unless you ask for them...I had to ask when mine was replaced under warranty as motor only as it was not included, I also had to ask for gaskets.
Maybe they listened to me then, as I told them when I got my warranty motor that the bearing should always be included, I waited several more days to put my warranty motor together because at that time they were not sending the needle bearings automatically when replacing these motors and had to wait the extra time to get mine.
That's how mine came too, and most of them as far as I know.
That jug is pretty much a duplicate of a saw jug, which was meant for a piston port. That's why the ports are shaped that way. That intake is narrow, could probably use widening by 2mm each side.
