My soon to be ms660 build

[Dasmoose]

Ok so we are going to be moving back home soon so I cant order anything right now but here's my rough plan so far and a few bits where I need advice.

I want to run 404 square chisel 36" bar. So I am thinking of getting the 660 kit and a cross mmws big bore kit, probably oem clutch and rim/hub, oem bearings, meteor piston?, caber rings (don't remember if the cross kit already had them) I noticed hyway has a dual port muffler was wondering if it was any good? And lastly I'm pretty sure Ill have to either carb swap it or get a rejet for the oem carb?

Tips, pointers, or "this is a bad idea save your money because this would be to much fun" is appreciated.

Oh the cross kit isn't a big bore my bad.

If you're gonna take a $250 saw and put $250 into it, you might better buy a used oem saw.

404 on a 36" setup ?
The clones have had big end rod bearing failures ...........
There are 661"s for sale in the classifieds that will serve you much better http://opeforum.com/threads/stihl-ms-661c.9079/

If you want to run 36"/115dl on an 066/660 I'd suggest the Stihl High Output oiler bits. Never seen an 066 really oil more than a 32 (and that is pushing it) for hardwoods here in the south east.

So not really a good idea to be turning these things into widowmakers? I thought about swapping the crank but yeah at what pint do you draw the line and just buy oem. That 661 is pretty tempting though might have to pm the guy.

661's can run
16" 10 tooth .375 in 16" of rock solid oak

That's pretty sick... Ive got a half dozen or so larger trees I want to fell and mill so I kinda sort of think maybe Ill dial it back a bit on my build idea maybe go more for a mill build.

Any suggestions?

661 or 395

066/660 if you’re going to run the HO oiler or are able to modify the oiler that you have

Ill have to look into it seems like oem may be the way to go.
