5 cube top end won’t bolt up? I’ll likely just order that piston set. Maybe a gasket delete? Set of crank seals a good idea I suppose, thx

I saw that listing and thought I should have one for $40 . I passed on 2 p40 saws last weekend. To rough for the money.
Deal was $200 pair one ran super rough the other "parts". I did buy the p28 .

5 cube won't fit unfortunately. Double check squish you might be able to run with out a base gasket. How does the plating look on the cylinder you have?

Anybody know the other pioneer in the front of p40 ?
I’m not sure. Not sure what I’m looking for I guess. I’ve definatly seen nicer cylinders. But it is smooth still.
Looks like the two p40’s and your p28?

You don't want anything that a finger nail will catch on. A little below the exhaust port is ok, but not above it.

The p40 was the first of the large p series saws.
This p41 has a walbro and a full wrap, is there a reason why some got a Tilly and some Wally? Just production runs ? This is my first pioneer I have with a walbro
If you was buying a P41, why didn't you buy the one I had in the trading post? It was 110%
I don't know what your looking at, looks to me like it was honed with a angle grinder.
Maybe my monitor is bad...
I seen it. This one was in Canada. Threw him an offer and he took it. Never pays to try to save a few bucks I guess.
Yeah I understand the shipping to Canada part for sure. I did say to give a offer too. Hope you still make out alright on it.
We’re learning as we go here. All good. Where’s the fun in buying something that works. 
Interesting looking Jonsered on the top row.

What does the I'd tag say on it? There was a rare run of p41shhp saws that would have the Walbro from the factory. If not somebody just put it on there, and they do run better. The Walbro is a bigger carb than the tilly that normally came on them. Unfortunately the cylinder doesn't look to be usable though as Mark mentioned.
No id tag unfortunately. Ordered a piston kit already. Maybe my pics make it look worse, but the cylinder is smooth to the touch, looks like someone ball honed it at some point tho.
Your touch isn't good enough to feel all that. A ball hone is a terrible thing to use on one of those cylinders period.
The camera won't lie about the surface of the cylinder most the time, just might magnify it.
