Please explain how you flattened the cylinder base.
oh crap I was waiting for the 4" grinder video.Brad,
I am somewhat prone to slightly exaggerating how I do things when speaking on the internet. I had a little machinist training back when the world was young and have done a lot of very close tolerance hand fitting when high performance gunsmithing and building circle track engines. How I actually trued the face after seeing that I couldn't use a heavy piece of glass as a flat surface, sandpaper of various grits, then lapping compound due to the cylinder extending below the base, was to use files and a machinist's square for a straight edge. The straight edge revealed the sides were pretty nicely flat but both the intake port side and exhaust side bulged in the middle. I ground safety sides on a plain ten inch mill bastard file to rough cut using the straight edge and a sharpie in place of Prussian blue to guide me. When I got close I broke out a very fine toothed, very stiff gunsmithing file for final truing of all four sides. I did start off by measuring everything with a dial indicator too.

Hu, let me know if you want me to pick up a tube of yama or hondabond. I got both within 5 minutes of me. Gladly stick either or both in the mail fer ya. Sorry no drugs on my run...i quit that stuff after college.
I found the same 518 you did at a local autoparts shop today. $18.... I decided to leave it there.

(you know like the guy sharpening the chain with the grinder ...)
roger that...Yamabond 4 (semi-drying)
Angelo,
Your offer is much appreciated! I do know I can order Yamabond or Loctite 518 off the net, would give me about the same shipping time. I have been pretty much housebound or at least farmbound for the last few weeks and everything I wanted has had to be shipped in. Just a little annoyance with that and the instant gratification thing were the main reasons for using the 51813. I'll probably pull the saw back down in a few months to see how it worked on the inside. It let me play on the back porch for a few hours instead of looking at four walls or leaving my saw apart for days waiting on a shipment.
A note to everyone, I did look at the 51813 Permatex earlier and walk away because it seemed too cheap. Came home and did a few hours homework, seemed worth a try. I'll probably have the jug off again in three to six months so I figured I would find out for myself what happened, mixed reports. I couldn't even order the 518 locally from NAPA or anywhere else, I tried. Conflicting reports as to if the 51813 bead inside the cylinder will wash away, have to see. I could have went to a boat dealer about thirty five miles away to try the Yamabond but mixed reports about it too. I can't drive that far at the moment anyway, the fifteen mile trip to NAPA was a major journey. My back has decided to take off for the holidays! Hoping it decides to come back to work soon.
Boredom from being pretty much housebound and feeling like playing is why I went with the 51813. The best I could lay hands on readily and with the conflicting claims about it and Yamabond leaving a bead on the inside/not leaving a bead, I figured anything but Loctite 518 was a gamble. I carefully spread the 51813 on the flange of the cylinder with a very small flat stirring stick and it is a very tiny bead on the outside, maybe toothpick size or less. Hopefully the same size or smaller inside.
Thanks to everyone, and a special thanks to Angelo for the offer!

I got a semi.......
WooHoo
NP Hu,
sometimes the "shipping and handling is more then the product. can't cost that much to USPS in their "one box fits all"...
i thought the 518 was very expensive at $18 per.
never had any gushing problems with the Yamabond and for $10 and off the shelf local....GTG for me
I do the same thing on marble pieces for "decking" the cylinder..i do it mostly just to get a rough surface..makes me feel better too. I picked it up on a wood plane blade sharpening site.
