Late to the game here, but a couple thoughts:

1. The cylinder looks like $hit. It might run, it might even run OK. But on a premium product, fit and finish issues are more than cosmetics. Stihl had better swap it out for a proper one, or they will have really lost a lot of respect for me.

2. Why must so many things be made by the ####### Chinese? I don't want to buy Chinese crap, give money to Chinese businesses, or otherwise subsidize overseas operations in 3rd world nations.
 
JJ, you are correct. I'm sure I can port this saw and it'll run fine. But these defects simply should not be there. My personal 260 cylinder looks nothing like this.

No, no, no. You're the one that said it was perfectly fine with no defects. You need to buy this P&C and prove it. My point was that the quality sucks and I've already proven that with my pics.:greenchainsaw:

You were the first to call the cylinder deffective.

Prove it.
 
SOLD!

Brad,

We've dealt before, so you know I'm a man of my word. Cash, check, or money order? I'll await a PM with the toal because I'll pay shipping.

PS: Ever sell anything in twelve minutes?

Are you going to put it on that new 576
 
Hell Brad may have chip cylinder take it off....ever see what he did
to them poor MS180 :cheers::greenchainsaw:
 
"So, other than that, how did you enjoy the play, Mrs. Lincoln?"

:D

Woodster,

I'm sure if you had been seated near the Lincoln party that evening, Abe's demise would have been the second worse event of that evening for Mrs. Lincoln.

Why would you want to do that Joatman? Seriously?

Brad,

I'm going to run it on an 026 I'm going to buy and see how it goes.

This should make you happy, your customer happy and me happy. It's as close as I'll ever get to making peace in the Middle East.

Just port it and sell it. Once you port it, what is gonna be wrong besides the little chip?

The truth of the matter is that porting would remove most everything I showed. It's simply a matter of principle. This cylinder isn't right and I want to see Stihl replace it. And if they do, I'll be just as quick to post that as I was my initial findings. BTW, that chip is in a location that the piston will never touch it. That chip is actually the least of my concerns.

Well, you just sold it!!! I guess Joat is gonna get to see what it is made of.

I have some 026 parts, nothing big. The case has a few pieces busted off and is not usable.
