All done, including the exhaust port.

I think you want to start real coarse to rip the alum off and not spend much time working it so as not to wear the playing…

@Mastermind?

Possibly! Though I didn’t damage any plating and I only had 400, the biggest downside was how long it took LOL

Oil pump got dissembled and cleaned because it looked like used motor oil in the oil tank. Note the condition underneath the saw. It’s not been rocking around the back of a Ute or stored on concrete

Out with the old seals and in with the new. I decided to machine a seal sleeve tool for the PTO side step

Wow, great score! Junker basketcase 200's and 201's still go for a couple hundred on Fleabay here.

Taking the advise of @Trains and filing the casting flash and smoothing rounding that current rough transition at the windows.

I would have q-tipped a little 30% HCL (mutaric acid) on ages ago, but that’s me as I only have my finger as a dremmel

As much as some folks resist to use it, it can save a lot of time (my finger) and fizz abit if there is a little transfer still there or not.

Btw..Acid it’s my insurance to know if the transfer has gone or not.
I have to say That cylinder did clean up nicely, you did a great job

Couldn’t agree more. Q-Tip and when done, right into the USC which is generally filled with a basic/caustic high pH alkaline solution. Don’t need NaHCO3 to neutralize it.

I thought I’d wrap the thread up - Saw is done

The white look of the new clutch cover looked so out of place. I recal from a bearing instal that 200c oven will turn stihl powder coat gradually a bit off white / yellow slightly. I just took it out now here is a contrast against a blanket and then also how closely now it matches the colour of the saw

A bit of scratching of the high areas that stick out to add some patina. Fits quite well! Just waiting on the bolts for the bucking spike
