When looking for Cylinder Base Gasket material for my Stihl 056 MAG II I got sidetracked on Temperature Ratings for different gasket materials. As a very uneducated guess I thought 300(F) plus might be close where the cylinder and case bolt together. Reading about gasket delete and Dirko Red I saw a temperature rating of 280 (C) and short duration of 315(C) Then I read other pertinent criteria such as: crush resistance, good for irregular surfaces, movement, densities, compatible with ???, and of course thickness I was wondering if anyone had any comments on this topic of "Operating temperatures of a chainsaw" (I pondered the thread topic to be Gasket Material but chose temperature because that is my real question) I realize that there are so many variables but what the Heah even if it is an old Mercury Two cylinder Two man or An Alcoholic Fueled Trophy Winner the answers could be interesting
