So which manufacturer makes these cylinders?

 

[Outlaw5.0]

Quality is much better for sure compared to the gen 1's.

Very snazzy cylinder brad. Where is this one destined to rest it's base?

On someone's saw:greenchainsaw:

The cylinders may look better, but I have seen very good looking aftermarket cylinders from years past develop problems with the lining. Not saying these aftermarket cylinders will have these problems.

I believe these are NiSi coated.

What is the cost of one of those?

I have no idea.

Don't know that either.

Looks good man. When I have mine ported, if the cylinder is junk as I expect, I might just have it built with one of those.

Thanks for the info.

I'm glad to see they are getting some good quality in the aftermarket kits now.

 

[parrisw]

Wow, I'm impressed! Looks real nice.

 

[super3]

Are those pits in the bore?

I just got done doing an 044BB and the quality was excellent on it.It was an NWP kit from Baileys.

damn and I went on the advice of the stock 066 cylinder and Metero and have to play with the squish. Prolly should of just bought the BB

 

[Evan]

even with the pitting in the cylinder walls they look great to me specialy for 130 bucks

 

[MS390]

200 lbs??

The BB I have on my 460 was excellent as well. Just checked the comp. the other day for the heck of it and it had 200lbs. comp!

was that without or with a gasket,if yes,how thick gasket??

 

[mtngun]

Excellent photos, Brad.

If I am interpreting these two photos correctly, the jug does have a gouge at the very top of the bore. The gouge doesn't appear to be bad enough to cause problems with a stock piston, but if doing a pop-up, one must take care to keep the top ring out of the ditch.

I've also seen some missing plating at the top of the bore on 2 of the recent NWP kits.

Evan, did you put a BB on your 066 ? How's the compression ? How's the power ? Did you widen the ports ?

 

[BloodOnTheIce]

How many cylinder's is Bailey's giving you to endorse their product?

They don't look any better than any Stihl cylinder that I own.






Stihl puts hundreds of people to work manufacturing products right here in the United States of America.

If you are tired of seeing jobs offloaded to third world companies then buy products from manufacturers that invest in the future of American jobs.

No gasket just some Ultra Black RTV. IF I remember correctly the squish was 22 thou in three spots and 23 thou on another. Those are the most consistent measurements of the several times I checked.

I don't think any Stihl 046/460 cylinders are made in the US, but in principal I agree with you!

I've had motorcycle cylinders replated from some pretty upmarket companies that have had that same "Pitting".

A write up from one of those companies mentioned on their site that occasional pitting wasn't a problem at all as it retained oil on the cylinder wall and didn't affect compression.

It's my understanding that none of the engine parts for Stihl's Pro models are manufactured in the U.S., whether or not they're Mahle, Stihl, or other third-party manufacturer.

We're pumping up the German and Swedish economies with our love of Stihl and Husqvarna...
