That’s what i will do - i need info on how to clean up oem cylinder - i have that ball with fingers ( forgot the name) used for cleaning up cylinder and i have a regular hone. Suggestions welcomed and also where is best place to buy meteor piston rings and a good open muffler. Tell me about deleting gasket - literally just leave it off and put nothing under cylinder ?

Base gasket delete sealant- https://rover.ebay.com/rover/0/0/0?mpre=https://www.ebay.com/ulk/itm/172366134240

Don't try using permatex/silicone it isn't the same thing.

Throw up some pics of the 394 and 372 cylinders. Might be interested in a 394 cylinder/ 372 muffler and Meteor piston/ 372 cylinder clean-up trade

Fellas if saw is stock then it should be 50mm cylinder ? And tell me where i can find year it was made and wanted to ask opinions on the 52mm pop up that hyway has. Not sure if that’s wise or no. I would like for saw to hold up but a little more power be nice. If the cylinder holds up as well as oe ? Or any mods needed like intake. If so i will just go back stock - new seals new intake rubber and new fuel oil lines and some new plastic new muffler with a new p/c or at least rings. Will leaving gasket out from under cylinder make that much difference ?

If the cylinder will clean up, use it. The AM stuff doesn’t run as well as the oem, even if it’s 2mm bigger. If you want it better, get it ported

Who does porting and do you just send cylinder to them and how expensive is it ?

Most builders will want the whole saw so that they can match the machining of the cylinder to your specific case. The prices vary but generally in the $200-$350 neighborhood.
