I found this 2186 locally that seller was told that it scored a piston or a bearing failed.
When I took it apart I found the connecting rod bearing on the crankshaft failed. I located a replacement crank and ordered up the bearings, seals and gaskets to rebuild.
Today I was cleaning up parts and discovered damage to the piston.
It looks like when the rod bearing failed it side loaded the connecting rod against the pin boss of the piston. it measures aprox. .023 inch.
What is your guys opinion on using the piston pictured above? Or should I quit being a tightwad and order a replacement meteor? Anyone know what an OEM husqvarna 385 piston costs?
