I have a picture of the exhaust side of the piston which shows it cloudy. This is what I could get with my flash, but it shows a uniform surface with no marks or streaks of any kind.
The piston and bore are perfect. These are wonderful tools and I treat them with the care and respect they deserve. This saw runs great and I decided to do my first u tube to show it in operation. The bar is an 18 inch rollomatic E with full chisel chain, sharp and ready to cut. Thanks for looking at my listing. I think this is the correct link. Looks like my link is not working. My digital savvy son explained to me how to use the link I posted above. If any of you are in my camp, this may help. Once the address is in, then clicking enter on my keyboard brings up the video. I apologize for the more digital savvy out there, but posting this for those in my advanced age group to hopefully help any who are interested in seeing my saw run.
