You said in a post that you had an 056 upgraded to a 056 magnum piston and cylinder. Do you know if the 056 can be upgraded to the magnum without having to make modifications? Can you just put the magnum piston and cylinder on in place of the other one? I thought the 056 and 056 super were compatible with each other but not the magnum.
Remember-- "me no mechanic?" The guy I purchased the saw from 2-3 years ago said he had modified the cylinder. I don't follow this stuff closely enough nor know enough about the mechanics to give advice. If I needed greater saw power, I would purchase a different model without trying to re-engineer something that works. JMHO
