Pulled the muffler. Light vertical scratches on the intake side of cylinder. I don't know if these were leftover from the bearing failure, but I thought I had inspected the cylinder closely.
I would try and figure out what the source of the intake scratches are. Was there some sand or dirt or anything in the carb/intake boot that could be causing this. Intake side scratches are generally debris from the intake. If it was something in the crankcase it would generally appear either at the transfer or exhaust port areas.
I know there is some debate regarding scratches/scoring repair. Some will say use a ball hone to clean things up, others will say do nothing and simply replace the rings, preferrably with some cast iron types. I'm a follower of the do nothing more than maybe a scotchbright pad at most, hones are meant for brand new cylinders or sleeved cylinders and could cause more harm than good.
I'm my limited experience a saw will generally run fine regarding compression unless the rings have been worn to the bone (rare) or because it has lost compression due to stuck rings(common). The stuck rings are usually due to some sort of debris that caused damage to the ring seats in the piston.
I would suggest pulling the piston and cylinder and take a better look. Also look very closely at the piston and rings and make sure the rings slide around and move in/out of the piston ring seats smoothly. Check out that intake side carb/intake boot very closely for possible debris coming from something.
That's what I'd do, but I'm a rookie compared to most of the guys in these forums.
Don't give up, that's a beautiful looking saw
