So which manufacturer makes these cylinders?
On someone's saw:greenchainsaw:
I believe these are NiSi coated.

I have no idea.
Don't know that either.

Looks good man. When I have mine ported, if the cylinder is junk as I expect, I might just have it built with one of those.
Thanks for the info.

Excellent photos, Brad. 
If I am interpreting these two photos correctly, the jug does have a gouge at the very top of the bore. The gouge doesn't appear to be bad enough to cause problems with a stock piston, but if doing a pop-up, one must take care to keep the top ring out of the ditch.
I've also seen some missing plating at the top of the bore on 2 of the recent NWP kits.
Evan, did you put a BB on your 066 ? How's the compression ? How's the power ? Did you widen the ports ?

They don't look any better than any Stihl cylinder that I own.
Stihl puts hundreds of people to work manufacturing products right here in the United States of America.
If you are tired of seeing jobs offloaded to third world companies then buy products from manufacturers that invest in the future of American jobs.

No gasket just some Ultra Black RTV. IF I remember correctly the squish was 22 thou in three spots and 23 thou on another. Those are the most consistent measurements of the several times I checked.

I don't think any Stihl 046/460 cylinders are made in the US, but in principal I agree with you!

Are those pits in the bore?
I've had motorcycle cylinders replated from some pretty upmarket companies that have had that same "Pitting".
A write up from one of those companies mentioned on their site that occasional pitting wasn't a problem at all as it retained oil on the cylinder wall and didn't affect compression.

It's my understanding that none of the engine parts for Stihl's Pro models are manufactured in the U.S., whether or not they're Mahle, Stihl, or other third-party manufacturer.
We're pumping up the German and Swedish economies with our love of Stihl and Husqvarna...
