Plating wear 'usually' starts at the lower edge of the intake port.
Wear on the intake side is common in high hour saws.
Plating is.worn through for certain.

The 046 cylinder isn’t bolt-on. It requires slotting the base holes about half of a bolt worth and some clearance issues on the side of the cylinder and the top cover. Just letting you know to make sure you want to go that route. If not, I have a couple 12mm 044 cylinders that I could spare
Yea, I’ve been doing some research on the 044/046 hybrid builds. I could handle those mods I believe.
I’ll see if I get any bites on an OEM 046 cylinder in the classifieds for a day or two then I might take you up on the 044 offer. I’d rather stick with OEM cylinders than aftermarket.
Good luck on your search. Never know when you might get lucky. A lot of hybrids have been built and many of the sources have dried up

Gotta be careful with acid buddy. Those areas that keep fizzing need to be neutralized ASAP.. They can be small pits, and the aluminum will dissolve and undermine them, making the issue worse.
Your jug may still be ok. As said above, complete wear out of plating generally occurs on the thrust side, which is intake. The dark staining will stay on the plating sometimes. The green color is the HCL reacting with the nickel in the plating.
Use a Q-tip and rub some acid over the dark areas. See if they fizz-any residual aluminum will.

Got a 046 cylinder coming thanks to dustinwilt68.
Meteor 52mm 046 piston needs to be ordered. New small end rod bearing, new crank seals, impulse line, fuel line and filter from local dealer. Base gasket delete. Going to check squish after the delete.
Anything else I need to look at/do?

Opinion only, but don’t use the meteor piston.
Go oem if possible, the meteor weighs around 5-6 grams more with the pin. A regular 044 slug is around 74 grams. The meteor is around 83. OEM like 78. I can’t remember right now if with pin or not.
