Why is Arnold considered a T800 in T2, but when he is telling John Connor what he is he calls himself the Cyberdine Systems model 101. So is he a T800 or a CSM 101?

101 is the model of the skin/body (arnold) that covers the endoskeleton. 800 is the endoskeleton model. 10? would still have the 800 or 850 or 888 endo but look like someone else

When John Connor has him stop the bike and gets off, Arnold says, "living tissue over metal endoskeleton."

Google image search yields the same pics. So the model 101 was just the tissue image that he had? Why send back a t800 when there was a more advanced t1000 liquid metal machine?

In the T2 commentary, Cameron states that the Model 101s all look like Schwarzenegger, with a 102 looking like someone else, leading to speculation that the 101 refers to the physical appearance while the 800 refers to the endoskeleton common to many models. A scene deleted from the theatrical cut, but restored in the Terminator 2 Special Edition, lends the most credence to this explanation. In this scene, John and Sarah shut down The Terminator for modification according to his instructions. When he reboots, the upper-left of his HUD reads "Cyberdyne Systems Series 800 Model 101 Version 2.4". Additionally, the original Terminator 2 teaser trailer further verifies this on a display monitor during cyborg tissue generation, referencing the Series 800 Model 101.

Arnie explained in T2 that the T1000 was an "advanced prototype"

I doubt that the resistance had lots of reprogrammed T-1000s at their disposal.
