 ;D ;D i just picked one of these j.d. cv800's last week. the piston was a little scored, pulled it apart and cleaned it up (waiting on the cylinder and piston kit to come in) as i didn't want to wait ;D the rings were a little stuck but still look good. not ideal, but the saw was very cheap and after the clean up you wouldn't know anything was wrong.
it pulls just a hair over 140 psi, the squish is a stagering 58 thou big, yes 58thou. :D no base gasket to speak of either. saw runs pretty stong, not bad but i'm sure there is alot more in it just from closing the squish up a bit (or alot?). the 'D' shaped exhaust port looks tricky as there isn't much room for widening, and the transfers already look long in the cylinder and i would be slightly worried about bringing them any further back as the ring pin locations are pretty close. it could be done i'm sure, these are observations i made as i was cleaning the already pretty clean cylinder.
the saw starts sounding lean at around the 12000 rpm no load mark, pulls pretty good, holds a good 9500-9800rpm in the wood (18" sugar maple with a 24" bar/chain). you can stall it out but you need to really push. i like the feel of it, the weight in my hands feels good, not too heavy and has the weight in all the right places. might just be my go to bigger saw for a while.
can't wait to get the new p/c kit 8) 8)
when I grow up, i wanna be an adult.
