Cleaned up the transfer and a piece of the coat has flaked off. Thinking it is junk. But wanted to see what you guys thought first.

That is the exhaust side.
-
That sucks. >:( Lot of hours on the cylinder? Looks like it just came off on its own as it's not touching the exhaust port. Suppose you could try it if you have a piston you don't care about for it. I don't have a lot of experience in this area but I think it would be problematic.
-
I don't think it had a bunch of hours. Buddy of mine pulled it from a dumpster for me.
-
It probably won't last if it flaked that easy. Did you use acid on it?
-
No acid. I don't care for it much. Used 240 grit and some scotch brite pads. Maybe I just got to rough with it. Got a used p and c coming from chainsawr.
-
Acid will sometimes do that. I had a 460 cylinder that I used acid on and it popped off like that.
-
Must have popped off a couple of hours later because it was not like that when I set it on the bench. Oh well.
-
I've had the worst luck saving 460 jugs. I've thought of trying to have 10 jugs relined if they'd give a price break on the $200 each. Might be worth it on some 2100 or something older that there's not many of.
-
$200 each and oe pistons at $45 or so dollars is still cheaper than buying a new oe p and c kit. But like you said there are enough good used 460 part saws out there.
-
You might be surprised.If you could feather out the chip with craytex or something the rings might span the gap and you might never have problems with it .--32 to 1 oil mix,elixor of champions . ;)
-
Wonder if there is a price break? If there is I would save some jugs to have relined. If a few of us got together I would think we could have quite a few to send out
-
I will have to look into craytex. Have heard a few talk about but never looked it up.
-
I think the p/c kit is about that price now from some dealers. I haven't checked lately on the cost of one.
-
You maybe right I have not checked in a while either.
-
If they're $200 I wouldn't consider saving one unless it was a D chamber with short blowdown
-
Is that a Mahle or Industria Brasil jug? I've seen a number of the Brazilian jugs with pitting in the plating...
-
The mahle are the ones I've had problems cleaning up. The newer KS have good plating.
-
Is KS still German made?
-
The one pictured is a mahle.
-
I think KS has a plant in PA or did.
