I was digging through some boxs in the basement last night and found a PP285 tore down. It's all there, but the piston is scored, cylinder looks good. I have a nice 2800 p/c, this should be a bolt up and go,right or wrong?

The 2800 is a plain bore, chrome piston. The 285 is the opposite. It won't work.
SORRY, I didn't see you had a cylinder as well.

Ran it today. Cut some big cookies...seems to help. Not 100% but it does help, seems like quite a bit of air comes from the bar side of the saws. Will keep the filter media in the cover.

I couldn't be any happier with how the Sears 3.3 turned out. I found an 18" small mount Husky bar in 3/8 on closeout from Baileys, and put it on there. Widened the mount holes on the bar, and it is oiling great. Acutally, I don't think I have seen a saw pump bar oil like this one does, I ended up turning it down a bit.
This is the saw that I turned the jug down on, and that extra compression is definitely noticeable. I had it in some well seasoned apple (very similar cutting to hickory), and was very, very strong in the cut. Very happy camper, this is one of the strongest sub-60cc saws that I have had the pleasure of running.
