Every good western has some kind of bar fight scene, but the fight always ends and then we get back to the story. This is like a movie where the bar fight goes on until the end of the flick, and then when the lights come on, nobody knew what the movie was about.
Instead of being clearer, the longer this thread goes on, the more things become confusing.
The cylinder is a Stihl not a Mahle, and was made in Brazil, and Stihl uses these cylinders when they run out of Mahles, but Mahle has a plant in Brazil, and Mahle might have made the cylinder, but if they did they didn't stamp Mahle on it, but stamped Stihl on it, and because Mahle might have made the cylinder that started all of this, then the cylinder in my 372 that says Mahle on it might have come from Brazil, or even China, and might also be a piece of junk, but as long as it runs, it doesn't matter because as long as the OEM put it in the saw, it is considered to be an OEM part regardless of what country it came from or what level of quality the starving peasents in that particular factory are capable of achieving, and nobody should throw stones at any of these tainted cylinders of dubious origin, because all of these companies have plants in China and Brazil and if nobody knows for sure whether or not Thomas Jefferson and Sally Hemmings produced any offspring, how important is it to know who produced this cylinder.
Have I got that right?
