Cylinder Pitting

[Adirondackstihl]

With 175lbs stock compression and the porting of those 10mm cylinders, I'd run that bad boy!

It has a "D" shape combustion chamber FWIW.

And YES, I will be running it. Just pondering a new AM piston from Meteor or at least a new set of Cabers for the ole girl.
Ring end gap was over 0.018" when I checked last night.
Maybe that 175psi will change a tad ? :wink2:

Pretty high ring gap... but 175psi??? Probably gain a few more LBS with new rings ans probably not a bad idea while your in there.

172-ish to be exact. Checked on more than one occasion.
Brand new Snap-On gauge......I dont fark around with cheap crap when it comes to that type of stuff.

Ring end gap is usually 0.004" per inch of bore diameter......correct?

Angled fins

99.9% sure its labeled as a STIHL cylinder.
I wont be 100% until I get home tonight.

Glad I left that 0.1% on the table.
Its a MAHLE cylinder.
I was wrong :taped:

Seriously? That's it - that's the vaunted Mahle quality, top-of-the-line cylinder? Looks like something you'd find at Harbor Freight.
