Not pretty, but won't affect performance. I can almost guarantee that it will break off if you try to straighten it.we ended up with a bent cooling fin:

That is disgusting!
Are we starting to realise why Mahle, Gillardoni & Kolbenschmidt cylinder kits retail for 10X-20X even 30X the price of these Chinese copies. I am all for folks buying these and having some fun with them porting & building but don't act like the sky is falling when you discover differences in quality. For $12 what do folks honestly expect........a quality controlled products that's 3% of the real deal cost?
Well for one, my opinion only, I prefer OEM mechanical parts even for my own personal saws and try to tell customers the differences between AM and OEM. Many paying customers are cheap, they only want a running saw at the most reasonable/ lowest price possible. Even after discussing the pros and cons and they know the likely hood that the AM parts will not be top performance or last like OEM they still want to go the lower price route.
Think of the electrical and plumbing parts made in China in your home the next time you are away on a 3 day weekend.
BIG difference. It's manufactured to Stihl's expectations and QC, not some thief of a counterfeiter.Bunch of Stihl is made there.
