Thanks guys, I'm slowly getting resigned to the fact that the cylinder will now best serve as a conversation piece. I'd still put it together and see how it runs. it wasn't starting a all, but that was with the broken ring. I haven't completely given up hope of filling the grove somehow, but...

Thanks Andy. I like the idea of trying solder, if I can find some high temp hard stuff, and a gun that will melt it. Al, the narrow slit is from an upper transfer all the way to the top. In the main heat zone, I guess you could say. I have a lot of work in this cylinder, I'd sure like to use it.

Thanks Andy, any idea what the combustion temp is in a cylinder?

Thanks for the input. There are lots of different solders, some higher melting temps than others. I don't think it would be too hard to run a bead down the groove, then sand it flat with some emery cloth. The question is whether it could take the heat of combustion without going soft.

My thought too, Chris, probably will melt out.

I see some folks on the web, shouting the praises of J-B Weld for cylinder repair. I have never used it myself. What one fellow had to say during a discussion about a groove in a cylinder wall, it seems simple enough if it works: "I've successfully fixed this same situation with J-B Weld. My...

That would really be a chore to weld on the upper part of the inside of the cylinder, very tricky and I am skeptical of the results. I can see easily messing up the edge of the combustion chamber, and it is murder to get in there to file. I wonder what welding would do to the hard chromed...

I thought Al would be a good person to ask about this, but since piston/cylinder damage is something that a lot of chainsaw users encounter, figured that it might be useful to start a thread on the subject. I have a Husky 359 that I modded extensively four or five years ago, and it has been my...
