WANTED Stihl 020T OEM crank bearings!

[IffykidMn]

Looking for a set of new OEM crank bearings or a possible lead on where a set may be found?

Thanks

Stihl 020AV or 020T?

020T guess I did not think of the AV, Thanks and I edited the OP as well.

I've yet to have to replace them on any of my 020T/MS200T's, maybe check a dealer or go to CCC's website site and see if Dave can source you a pair.

I think they are the same as 200t and I believe they are still available from Stihl. Gasket set too.

You are correct

Hmmm I will have to check a different dealer I was told they are different.

Pretty sure they're interchangeable, the cases to my knowledge are identical other than the 020T is a screw-in oil cap, the MS200T is a flippy cap.

Definitely possible they have different part numbers. I’m pretty sure the bearings are the same 020T, 200t and even 201t. It’s also pretty rare for them to go bad. I’ve seen way more bad cranks than bearings in those models.

Have not split the cases but with slop in the crank I figure it would need crank bearings and would look to see if OEM bearings are available or not first, going by what others have said aftermarket bearings are not worth bothering with.

Do you see up and down play or side to side play in the crank when checking?

Pics of the saw?

 

[IffykidMn]

Side to side play.

Just saw your reply.

Side to side is normal in those. But the seals should be replaced and then vac test it.

Yes to the seals, vac leak at the seals is what prompted the tear down just figured I would throw in new crank bearings, seals, wrist pin/bearing, piston and rings while I had it apart and from the economy side it would probably makes more sense to just do seals, wrist pin/bearing and rings.

Does it really need a new wrist pin bearing?

 

[IffykidMn]

No it does not, then again it probably does not need new rings either, but both are inexpensive and if the saw is already apart?

I love these chainsaws, I’ve got a few 200t builds on the bench now. Full oem rebuilds
