First things first, clean both surfaces and when you think they are clean, get a soft rag with some rubbing alcohol and clean them again. Use a thin layer of Yamabond, Hondabond or three bond on BOTH surfaces, let it tack up and assemble, after it cures retorque the cylinder and you are good to go. One thing I see over and over again in pics people post here is saws taken apart that are not clean, maybe it's just me but I don't disassemble anything until it is perfectly clean, having things clean makes for a better overall job and reduces failures.

Many thanks Walt and Tbone - just bought myself a tube of threebond! Much appreciated.
Is there an introuctory thread to cylinder porting on the site? - I'm tempted to have an experiment with a british available equivalent to the earthquake.

All the best both
 
Ha!

Ha! I thought I had received my 4th Quake this evening when the house shook, but a 3.7 temblor (stay with me ...look it up) came through here at 5:03 PM PST. It was exciting as we don't get many of those around the PNW, but I would have prefered a 4th Quake.

3.7?? heck, we don't even feel those little things around here. They have to be at least 4.5 :D

Yep pretty small for you, but intersting for us. I've lived at the top of a "tee" intersection for the last 5 years. Have been worried all that time about someone missing the turn, coming through the yard, and hitting the house. My first thought last night was that had finally happened. Glad to be wrong.

A guy I work with lives on a "T" he landscaped his yard with a really large rock garden. It stopped one.

I must be losing it because I thought you were implying that you received a 3.7 cubic inch (60cc) earthquake chainsaw...
