056 Cylinder??? need help verifying

[mcguirejohnson]

I've put a few other posts out on this saw and recieved some good information. I have low compression and a leaking seal (sproket side), so I'm planning a rebuild. This cylinder measures 52MM, but my badge on the handle reads 056 super. I'm sure someone changed the handle or possibly the cylinder at some point, but I plan on taking it back to a 54MM once I can source a cylinder. My question on this cylinder is what it goes to? I can't find the cylinder numbers anywhere on the internet. They look to be "56 858+1D", but it's hard to see the first two and the last digit. the top of the cylinder has "C K6" stamped in it. I've posted some pics to see if anyone can help me figure this out. Thanks, Jim

056 AVE, just the regular old 056, not the Super or Mag.

thanks. thats good to know. I'm going to move this saw to a 54MM. any concerns with how this 52MM cylinder looks? I plan to sell it as parts once I finish the rebuild. The compression was around 110-115.

Mc you might want to find a 045 w/bad top end,yours would be a big bore for it.
Have fun and don't get addicted. Ha Ha

What you read as "56" actually looks like the KolbenSmidt symbol, K superimposed over (a wide) S.
