>Interesting, looks like 4-500 hours out of a 1400 mile cylinder at 200 bpm
>and 200mm stroke, stroke is usually less but my cylinder was bought used, so
>10 hours a week gives me a year before a rebuild, the hammer probably does
>less hours than that though I guess. What was the difference between the
>1400 and the 2800 mile cylinder?
