Anyone recognize this porting?

Hi!
Long time lurker, first post!
I picked up a husky 181se a couple months ago. It starts and runs really strong. It's pretty beat but I get a lot of 24"-50" wood for free and I was tired of borrowing my dads ms460. Found it on CL for $350. May have been too much??? Oh well.
It was missing the muffler bracket and the bolts snapped off so I pulled the jug to get the snapped bolts out and found out this thing was ported.
I checked compression before pulling it off and it's right at 150psi.
The cylinder has a few score marks in it but I put it back on anyways, figured if it gets worse ill get a p&c kit.
Hmm, how do i post pics on my ipad???

I think I got this figured out...

I don't know who did it, but they should have their horse rasp taken away from them.

How do you spell a-n-g-r-y b-e-a-v-e-r?

Lol! So is a rough porting job better than none at all? Or should I start fresh with a new top end? Not sure how long it will last with the scoring it has anyways...

That cylinder is junk. Looks to be scored through the plating. No telling on the porting, but it really looks rough.

 

[Nitroman]

First thing would be to check what is transfer and what is scoring. If not bad chamfer the edges and yes, you could clean up the gnarly grinding.

Ok what is "transfer"? I can feel them with my fingernail. And I can see lines on the rings that correspond to the lines in the cylinder??

 

[AKDoug]

Transfer is the aluminum off the piston that deposits itself on the cylinder as a result of overheating. What's the piston look like?

 

[pioneerguy600]

Transfer is what aluminum the piston leaves on the cylinder wall when it melts.

 

[Paragon Builder]

I can see lines on the piston but it feels smooth. It's definitely scoring then. Will it hurt anything to run it like this?

Does your fingernail "dig" into the grooves or "skip" over them?
Looks to me that it was previously cleaned before the port work.according to what I see the port work is pretty fresh because the ground spots havent retarnished.

Follow the trail of chipped chinese screwdrivers with mushroomed handles, and you found your man.

Fingernail digs in. I was going to use my cylinder hone but it looks like they won't work on a 2 stroke. It would catch on the porting. I'm new to 2 strokes.... Working on them anyways.

If it were me id run it like it is until it decides to give it up.just keep a new jug and cylinder around for a rebuild.

Tyrell? A little Blue Goo and you will be set to go...

Wasn't my hoof rasp! Whoever did it came dangerously close to the bolt holes.
Maybe Al Smith did it. Lol

That's what I was thinking. Any recommendations on p&c??

In defense of Al, it is not a Mac...
