Ok here is a picture of the engine mounting screw.   It is the self tapping screw that Jim was referring to.   It is a triangular shape on the end.

Here is a picture of the cylinder after I lowered the bearing area and then sanded the bottom of the cylinder.
I started with .035" and when I finished with it and put it in the case the squish is now at .019".

I also widened up the intake and exhaust ports and cleaned up the transfers a little.   None of it was big steps just a little grinding to open it up a little.

In the second photo you can see where I put the covers for the transfer ports back in.   They had to be ground down a little to because the bearing seal rides on them also.

Those screws look similar to those used on stihl 021-039 and ms 210-390 engine pan to cylinder screws. Did you just remove material from the cylinder base to lower the squish? How do the seals and bearings meet the engine pan and cylinder. Would think there maybe a gap as the bearings are the same size and you made the circumference smaller between the pan and cylinder by lowering the cylinder. But I maybe wrong.

The fit of the seal/bearing pocket and its adjustment were discussed earlier in the thread?

I lowered the bearing seal seat first by .016" and then sanded the base of the cylinder by the same amount.   So no gap.
There is a sealant that has to be used between the two halves of the crankcase also.

I am going to port match the intake and the exhaust.   Then do a muffler mod and advance the timing.   It should be interesting.   I still have the other 5020 that I got from you and I have not changed anything on it.   Comparison time.

I got the 5020 all put back together today.   Saw runs good, idles good, starts good.   Nothing super dooper after all it is still a 50cc saw.   I want to run it some more and break it in alittle before comparing it to a stocker.
I also want to do some compression checks.
