Stihl 034 AV rebuild

[Bryan Barrow]

My friend gave me his 034 to rebuild. He said he lent it to a friend who ran straight gas through it. I haven’t looked at it yet but he said it was scored. I’m going to tear it down later today around 7 to update you all on how it’s going. Any advice or help is much appreciated. Thanks!

Might be my favorite saw to work on. If you can find a decent deal on a 036/360 top end I would recommend doing so.

Don’t let people worry you about changing the Oiler line. It’s not that bad.

All I’ve done is put the saw in my shed so I don’t know anything about it except that it isn’t seized. I’ll post pictures when I start taking it apart later

Yea after you do one it isn't so bad. I have had to do it on every 034/036 that has crossed my bench. Either a weak spot or I'm just lucky

Me too. Lots of practice.

What is the problem?

What is the problem?

I don’t have a skinny enough torque driver to take it off

Skinny enough? To get down through the cylinder to the bolts? Like this?

Exactly like that

My 034 AV rebuild from a saw that was in pieces, upgraded to an 036:


Today it still is one of my favorite chain saws.

Welcome Bryan.

We are here to help. You've got Dan close to you, if I understand correctly. That's a valuable asset.

Post away once you've got it apart.

I went to meet Bryan this morning, brought him my t27 scrench. Wouldn’t fit down cylinder holes... doh!
He had a short one that just reached so we got it off.
Was definitely straight gassed.
Looks to me like a cylinder may clean up.

He’s gonna need a piston for sure though.

Here you go Bryan

Yup, used that method to revive a 440 cylinder that had been scored, worked great! It is still running strong.

OEM pistons were much cheaper then (less than $50), they have near doubled in price.

Likely Meteor would be the best option.

Here you go Bryan

Thank you for helping me today!
