More on the subject .A few years back Kevin and I did a little horse trading .I ended up with a pristene McCulloch 805 .Unknown to both of us the chrome had delaminated in the engine .McCulloch it seems had some quality control problems towards the last years in business and bad chrome was one of them .It wasn't a big deal because I landed an early model Mac 850 on the cheap  and just stuffed the complete engine  under the 805 shrouding with the best parts of two model designs and ended up with a very powerful 80 cc sized saw . If it means any thing I've never had hard nickle plating fail and I've wrenched on a lot of saws of many makes and models .
