Maybe red exhaust sealant? (permatex)

Any tips on how to remove the jug? It's siliconed on there too.

Bolts are out, but it's stuck. Lol

Gentle taps to each side. Very gentle

That did it. Thanks Dave! Better to ask than break it.

395 p/c. The ports look pretty good, but rough, except the exhaustwhich is nice and polished.

Here they all are.

That would be fantastic. This saw does run very well, and I like it a lot.
I'll get a piston and send your way. Oem or meteor?

Either one is fine with me. I'm sure Dave at CCC can hook you up with either at a decent price. He knows my shipping address.

I use permatex ultra copper to seal muffler to the cylinders. It saves the cylinder flange from fretting wear. Seals better than a gasket most of the time. We used to seal our race car headers with it until felpro came out with a multi layer gasket for the headers.

Cool. I'll see f I can't get to that tonight, and have it heading your way.
If you say it's better, I'll get some myself and use it when they all go back together. You use it instead of the gasket, correct? This one had a gasket and the red stuff.

Red high temp silicone

Hows about a close up of the welding ?

How much runout in the mandrel is acceptable for checking things? I've got it under .001.
Can't seem to get it better than that.
Mason is bringing his 395 jug for me to check for him.

You likely won't ever see less than that on there. I never could.
