I am new to chainsaw repair but I cannot imagine a better method. Any thoughts ?
If theres real heavy aluminum transfer, i use muriatic acid until it quits bubbling. Then i use randys method. I start with 80 grit, then go to i think 160 or 180, finish at 320, using a little lune during the process.

What is this "lune" you speak of? We have loons up here in the great white north, but they are too big to stuff into a chainsaw cylinder. I think even a little loon would be troublesome to say the least :crazy::crazy::crazy::crazy::crazy::crazy:
 
Some stuff to remember....the 4218 has a un-plated bore with a plated piston. Never sand or hone those type of bores. The finish is important and is ruined by sanding. If it's scored it's trash.

Wiggs is the man. Best looking work I've ever seen......not as fast as me, but pretty. :laugh:

Strangely......this guy looks a lot like me.
 
Ball jones tend to bounce over the open ports like the transfer ports and intake and exhaust ports. Ball hones are no good when there’s open ports in the cylinder. Look closely you can see where the balls bounce over the openings. I use gear driven adjustable hones. They have stones made for honing and boring all types of metal. I bore the castiron sleeves in dirtbike engines.
 
I was banned.....

Started this account to keep up with a few guys.

Sadly......the place ain't too appealing to me these days......but I'm still porting saws just as I have since 2010.
Howdy Randy :hi:.
That :rolleyes: seems to be how your feeling in general from what I read:reading: at the other place, so lets not be a Debbie downer :rare2:!
Hope you guys have a great time this weekend:chainsaw::barbecue::cheers:.
 
Ya cant just jam it in there brett, you gotta sweet talk it first, and you gotta have it pointed the right direction: head first. Come on man.
I didn't have a big enough chuck to put the feet in :eek:.
In case you need it I have the clutch cover here for the 362 ;).
Also the P&C, but I'm guessing those won't ever be used again.
 
Two quarter pounders, large order of fries while the grill is hot. Please I’ll gladly pay you Tuesday.

I hold no animosity......and can't recall the last time I posted anything negative about this site on any other forums. But......I'm not known for holding back when it comes to expressing my feelings.

So.......maybe you might try not being a.....what was that????? A "Debbie Does Dallas" ? LOL

Wish you could be here Brent. It's gonna be a hoot.
