:jawdrop::jawdrop:those casting are very ordinary to say the least ,i got an after market 660 kit from taiwan that has cleaner ports than that,wish i had a good camera to take closeups
OUCH! Hey quality of the castings from the photos looks good. What's your opinion by using your eyeballs?
they're far from horrible, but far from Mahle too....
Is there any reason for the mismatch with the case halves at the base?
Ya, Stihl is cheaping out these days by the looks of it!

Not on everything though. My 441's cylinder looked pretty nice pre-port. It isn't a Mahle or a Stihl but a Gilardoni (the same make as the cylinder on my J-red 2095 interestingly). I am not sure what Stihl is putting on the other new pro-saws like the 362 and the forthcoming 261.
Dan my 362 has a Mahle topend and it's very nice looking from what I can see. The Giordani cylinders I've seen are also top of the line, in fact maybe the best of the bunch IMHO.
