If there is an "A" beside the piston or cylinder it is unplated
If there is a "C" it is plated
The lists are far from complete but they cover most of the 1970 - 1990 saws

Great resource. I use it frequently.
I traded Kensie for this NOS Craftsman 5.2. Thanks to ModifiedMarks advice I got it ready to run. I especialy appreciated the tip on the 361 gas tank fitting. And mahalo to Kensie for getting me the parts I needed. I took it along yesterday to do the bucking while I was milling. I traded a very good saw for it but it was worth it for me. How often does a new 5200 pop up? Poulan green is my favorite color but this looks good in red.
A= aluminum C= Chrome.
How does that 5200 run, Kensie said he wasn't going to start it, and from what we saw and what I asked him to look at, said it looked to have never been ran.

Well I got some clear coat for my 5200 finally. Have to bake it to cure it out, 250° for 30 minutes, cool for 30. Bake at 400° for 30 minutes then cool for 30 . Then bake 600° for 30 minutes and cool. Will the gas tank/handle assembly take that kind of heat without the sealer coming apart at the tank seams and causing it leak. Kind of weary on getting it that hot and causing the sealant to fail.

I've never heard of any paint except header paint that will take that kind of temp. What did you buy?
I would think that kind of temps would fry any rubber in the saw. Not sure the tank sealer would take that either. It might be a good way to take all the paint off.
Don't know of any paint booth would exceed 140 Deg F. A good spray bomb clearcoat that's gas resistant is Plastikote 229 clear.

None of the stores and auto parts stores that I've checked into around my neck of the woods don't carry Plasticoat. One place did but discontinued that brand.

What's the highest heat can I go up to without having any problems?

Way too hot! All your plastic and rubber parts are going to melt and char at those temps.
What plastic, all metal

Just wondering what's the highest temp I can safely go with out tank seam sealant problems.

I would think that 400 degrees would definitely take out your seals and probably the tank sealer as well.
I've disassemble the cases again and stripped everything back down. Going to replace the new crank seals with Poulan seals, those skf seals just aren't right.

Get the Plastikote 229. Contact plastikote and see if they have anyone in your area that carries it. If you heat your saw up that high you'll be sorting puddles in the oven.
Don't forget your throttle trigger and the carb adapter. It's your saw Steve. do as you please.
I think you'll find that if you let the paint on your saw cure for a time you won't need the clear coat. If you want to speed that up put it in the oven at 100 deg F for an hour or two.

I've checked with plastikote, no dealer anywhere near me any more. Trigger was taken off when I stripped it down to nothing but parts. Everything has been painted for three weeks, sun cured.
