Side note: what is the differentiate between: "banana's, sausage and a monkey" ? Break it down please I think I get it................ Maybe? Trying to learn......... and YES, I'm slow. Socially speaking at least

I'll take the MS462 3/4 wrap(woods ported) if still available. Randy has been great to deal with

Same gauge here. And Wisemen Trading has been great to deal with. Really good company. Never saw the kittens there though. 😆 Will have to pay better attention next time.

I thought "It's snowing and Chewbacca got cold". I know, old thread...

Much appreciate your advise @Ketchup. I have read many of your post. Your knowledge is respected and welcome. Thank you. Sincerely I already have the OEM cylinder screwed down with the Duke's piston and rings in. I did trim the ears(?) from the AM circlips. A dremel tool comes in handy. Booger...

Seriously. I am just asking for opinions from someone with more experience. I guess I asked the question wrong. ??? IDK To post the question again: "Is this OEM Malhe cylinder usable or would an AM P/C kit be a better choice?" I have the Meteor P/C on hand for a different saw, the Hyway kit was...

Yeah..... okay.

Side note: both new cylinders, the Hyway and the Meteor black box were cast from the same mold. Different finish of plating, YES. Different finished machining, possible. But these two cylinders came from the same mold. I have little doubt. High confidence. I will bet you a chocolate chip cookie...

Okay, guess I will go with the Mahle/Duke or the Hyway. Leaning Hyway, just looks better. No idea of numbers nor do I have a degree wheel. Just going by looks

A little more information. Saw is to play with and maybe ride in the truck. Not a main saw but I do want reliability. I have a DUKE's coated piston already in hand plus CABER rings. Will also replace the soft parts as I rebuild. 2001 model so likely needing new intake, fuel and impulse. Both...

372xp OE, second hand to me. I don't know the saws history. Piston looks pretty good, likely a replacement. MAHLE cylinder with a sketchy looking exhaust port. I have been working the cylinder with 600 and 1000 grit wet/dry and a ScothBrite. I did get transfer off. Really think this is...

I love Tsumara and Sugihara bars. Standard, light or premium light no matter. OEM or rebranded. IME the best value today by far is Tsumara or Sugihara bars. Stihl or Cannon may be better quality, longer lasting, IDK and am not going argue this point. But Tsumara and Sugihara bars, in any...

@Ezarb I think Tsumara bars are excellent. I had one that seemed to have a bit of clear-coat, or wharever protective coating they apply, in the bar groove causing the drivers to drag. Just a guess on my part. And yes, it was one of new Premium Lite bars

If a chain breaks I will post it. Until then, more oil and more throttle. TSUMARA just makes some really nice bars in my experience. Until I see otherwise I'm gonna' run it. And run it hard. If a fail we will soon see it on the forums
