World's First MS500i Case Split

[huskihl]

Thought you folk might be interested in something I spotted on the Bay of E... have a look at this and tell me what you think about a 54mm cylinder for an MS 550i - https://www.ebay.de/itm/ZYLINDER-FU...863786?hash=item28a3817b6a:g:2YoAAOSwMp9fxr7W

Appears to be a stock OEM Cylinder. What are you seeing?

I had it in my head that the 500i was 52mm....

Ahh I see.
Don’t believe so. 462 is 52, 500 is 54, 661 is 56

Plenty of meat here to open the lowers if anyone feels the need.

Might as well add some crank stuffers and port the case while you have it apart. Then it will be worth much more than a RIP saw.

I'm keeping this one for a test mule. No telling what I might do with it.

I don't think either a 462 or 500i need stuffers, they have instant throttle response and VG RPMs, so why would you bother with stuffers???

The stock 462s also dyno well above their advertised Hp, and the one I got from Randy runs even betterer!

Saw ran great when I got it, but after some break in it got even stronger!

I just got refunded today for shipping cost on something i sent @Stevetheboatguy. He was supposed to receive it Monday by overnight shipping, it just left Chicago this morning. But I'll admit, I put my wife on it and she got the money back. Just straight out luck really.

@Mastermind were the bearings plastic or metal caged? Proprietary on PTO side or regular old standard bearings? 6202 or 6203? Just curious.

@Mastermind so at the end of the day, what's that whole deal cost to have done? That case have is pretty spensive, whats the proprietary bearing cost?

Just curious
