Piston worked out great 165PSI with the metalized base gasket. Popped on the second pull ran on the third, blip the throttle idles at 25-2600, has a full tank that it has to idle on for a half hour. All in all the piston measured the same as the OEM one, I'm happy, now I can send this orange boy home!

FWIW, just received the piston/cylinder from Greece. Piston Is nicely cast and machined. Wrist pin bore is light press fit and circlip grooves are machined properly. Looks like the ring is 1.2mm

Cylinder is nice, no extraneous chrome plating in ports or squish. Minor chrome flaw in narrow bridge between the two transfers(both sides) looks like a pinhole.   A few of the oem Stihl ms460 cylinders (Brazil) I've had had similar flaws and were not an issue.

Adam, that's great! Did it come in a plain box or was it marked e.g. maker?

Tim, generic cardboard box,  very nicely packaged, box in box.  Not gonna port it, curious to see how it works stock. The Bailey's BB was a joke stock! Heavy piston and +.004 thousandth variation in squish from sloppy chrome job. Real pain to machine that irregular buildup from the squish band. Certainly not cost effective unless you have machine tools and then your still out set-up time. Real question in my eyes is if the AM is worth a chit as a bolt on...

Ran the stock AM jug and piston for a 3-4 tanks last week at the yard bucking up wood in our dump pile. Ran great and after the 2nd/third tank it was noticeably more powerful. I'm not too keen on the Asian AM jugs and I feel this kit is superior. 

Couldn't resist and conservatively ported the cylinder. Widened out the transfers a small amount, widened intake(no lowering) and widened and raised the exhaust a small amount.  Ended up using an 046 piston and a 1MM spacer under the jug with thin paper on both sides. This combinations yielded .014 squish which is too tight. Milled the top of the piston to get 23-24 thou and ran it with a single ring.  Really peppy and still a ton of torque. Gonna run it in a stock appearing 5 cube gas race this coming weekend, let you know how it places. Adam

Cool, I will order one up. You put this on a stock 7900 or a stroked saw? What attracted you to an 046 piston over stock? Good luck at the races! ;D
