Hi Guys, i am trying to save a cylinder for my Stihl 056 AV Super chainsaw, it was running badly before i taken this into parts and seen cylinder was badly scored. unfortunately piston was shot so i bought new piston and rings cost me £30. but then i am trying to save the cylinder and so far i was used the muratic acid to clean the cylinder and it is looking much better compare to what it was before. i can only feel one small scratch on the right side of the cylinder starting from exhaust port and goes all the way up but other than that i can still see bit of aluminum but there are no bubble coming out after the acid application which means that i have cleaned most of it. so now i want to use a sand paper to clean this up any further.
so need an expert advice what sandpaper/grit paper i should be using? also is it worth saving this cylinder or i am going to lose my £30 piston. these cylinders are not common to it will be difficult to find one. The chainsaw was running before i took it into parts but it was running rough. what you guys think?
Thanks in advance.
