First I "halved" it then I "quartered" it.
Here's a shot from the inside looking out towards the reed cage.
Here is a side profile with a piston.
The "secret" and "elusive" transfer port (one of them). Notice its shape and how its almost flat on the top where it enters the cylinder. Also notice how it goes from "large" at the bottom,then squeezes "smaller" in the middle befor its shot into the cylinder? That "squeeze" increases velocity!
Here is another shot of the transfer at a different angle...
And another angle of the transfer port.
Here are the two halves of the tranfer port after I cut it down the center. I also removed the cylinder liner to show you the casting. Actually the liner fell out onto the floor,but same difference.
In this picture you can see how the cast iron liner is locked into the aluminum casting. This is for you folks that think that the liner is just a smooth cylinder pressed into place. It isn't.
Here is a picture from the intake side without the reed cage in place. This cut away will help me finish my "boysen port cutting jig" that I'm in the process of making. When its finished it will be "BADABING! perfect boysen ports EVERY TIME! Both top and bottom if you desire.
These are the girls next door that mow my lawn every week. They all own Yamaha Blasters and shoot Kalashnikov's. Needless to say,they're blasters never get stolen.
Actually...This is a "Cut-Away Cylinder" Learning tool!!! I made this for all of you and also myself.
By the way...That "cheap cast piston" that everyone loves to hate is working flawlessly!
Anyway,this "Learning tool will hopefully help all of you that are doing,or thinking of doing your own port work.
This "cut-away" will help you see how thick the castring is in given areas,and also let you see the side profile without guessing. You can also see how the cylinder liner is "locked" in place in the aluminum casting. You can also see the shape of that secret,elusive "transfer port".
I also just up-graded to a "supporting member",and I have also "subscribed",but for some reason this site won't let me upload any more pictures into my albums.. This problem needs fixed soon,because I have lots of information to share.
