Exactly what I'm saying. If it was as easy as clamping it in a fixture and letting your cnc machine port it, Stihl and Husqvarna and Farmertech would do it at the factory.

Since we're talking about porting, doesn't it seem obvious I'm talking about the cylinder?

Sounds familiar. I replaced one last week on an E-450 bus and it was junk, out of the box, from Napa. They brought up another one, had to take a grinder to the mounting bracket to make it fit. It lasted 2 days before failing.
