    Magnum or Big Bore, always a tough question. Personally, I think its just a lot of advertising hype. I just go with regulars as they seem to be amply designed and fit just fine, never had any complaints.

    I think I'd rather the oil threads. Or better yet hit myself in the head with a tack hammer a couple times.

    Scotty--- what were your symptoms with this cylinder? You mentioned tuning issues. Did it start and run ok for a while? Was there a noticeable drop in compression/power?

    Reason I ask is that I put one of these in an 044 and just had it in for a tune. It tuned up "ok" but was a little wonky compared to my other saws. Just figured a carb rebuild is needed at some point but you got me thinking lol
