Stihl 460 jug
« on: July 26, 2015, 08:37:53 pm »
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 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.
