Is this cylinder shot?

[MotherGoose]

I got a bunch of old saws and this 372xpw blew a top end. Is this cylinder shot? Any advice would be appreciated thanks

Probably not.
Has someone been "hacking" at it?

looks golden ...other that the first pic's possible chip? ...need to clean that up .... and use 600 grit emery cloth or a 260 grit ball hone ...and run it

Wow you guys responded fast. Thank you! I’m hoping to put a saw together with all the parts I’m getting. What would you use to clean the cylinder up with ?

 

[MotherGoose]

Oops I just realized you posted what to use sorry

 

[HarleyT]

Saw the side to side scratches, like someone was working on it.

 

[MotherGoose]

Possibly HarleyT. The guy I’m getting parts from likes to tinker. Another question. Is there an easier way of testing the bottom end without tearing into it? I’ve got several cases I could use just don’t know which to choose

 

[HarleyT]

Testing as far as air leaks, or bearing wear?

 

[MotherGoose]

Bearings. No telling how many hours some of this stuff has had on it

Hold the crankcase down on a firm surface with one hand, and try to move the outer ends of the crank up and down with the other hand. If you get any movement at all- it's time to split the case and install new bearings.
