Most always the unplated part melts or scars first.  Sometimes you can save a chrome cylinder. Proper care like 32 to1 good oil, fresh gas, good air circulation ,correct carburetor mixture a aluminum cylinder will last a long time. That said a chrome cylinder will take slightly more abuse. I have seen old wild things with every other part wore out and still a good engine.
