Where to Buy Mahle Piston Cylinder Assembly for 4.2
I have a 4.2 c.i. engine with a Mahle cylinder and need a replacement.
Anyone know where I can buy a new piston/cylinder assembly? Even a good used one would do.
I thought a google search would turn a source right up but I have found nothing.
The cylinder currently on the engine had the muffler lugs broken out and
someone tried welding the muffler directly to the cylinder and really made a
mess of it. There are also a lot of cooling fins missing.
Any help will sure be appreciated.

RE: Where to Buy Mahle Piston Cylinder Assembly for 4.2
Hi Iglowhead ,
I would beware of RC Ignition , I sent a 5.8 to him to have a new ignition installed,
I was lucky to get the engine back ! Also he took it upon himself to change parts that i did'nt want changed ,
On top of that , he replaced them with used parts , As well as kept my origional parts ,
Not to mension the return shipping packing was Gatorade bottles & foam peanuts
I was very lucky not to have had broken fins also i was repeatadly lied to for a month , saying he shipped me my engine ,
when he finally did ship it was to a different state than which i live , After nearly three months after i sent it to him, i did finnaly get it back,
I hope you consider these facts before you send him your engine ,
I know it was my first & Last dealing with RC Ignition .

That sure does not sound like the same RC Ignitions that I have been dealing with for the past several years as the quality of his workmanship and customer service has always been excellent.

You conveniently forgot to say I told you the reasons for the delay, and that I told you not to pay me...And you said you would anyway...Which I don't remember receiving ...
and I took a P O S 5.8 A&M Sachs with a Rube Goldberg A&M ignition setup and made a NEW ignition setup using RC EXL EI ignition...
I have shelves full of the old ignition parts, how many do you want ?? the white delrin ring or the nylon ring or the aluminum ring ? The old C&H non EI ignition ? How about the old used spark plug ? How about the old A&M prop hub and stud ?
any of this sound familiar ?????
What USED parts did I put on your engine ????
Anyone else on here that wants to send me an engine, please don't...Been doing this far too long already...[:@]

If its really a 4.2 then it is probably part of a Sachs Dolmar saw or concrete cutter. Sachs Dolmar is now Sachs Makita and you should be able to get parts for it from a good saw shop.
If its really a Mahle cylinder but is not a 4.2 it could be a Partner, Husqvarna or ??? Mahle makes cylinders and pistons for about half the free world 2c engines.

That is the first negative comment i have heard about Cunningham at RC Ignitions ...I sent him a Zenoah 445 twin...he fixed a bent connecting pin that resulted from a prop strike, and rebuilt the carb for a price too low to mention. Its amazing that he fixes engines and ships them back to the customer with a bill, with out asking for a deposit first

For some time now I've been looking for a good reason to take a trip to 'Somewhere' in the USA and maybe I just found one.
