I've got a 024super crank and case (it's more better west German an all) Working on cylinder and piston now.

Every time I have seen those split rings in a saw, there was a violent end just before it came to me. They seem to catch a port edge rather effectively from what I have seen...

Never seen them before. I've only used OEM or caber myself.

I think that's what they were ! It wasn't quad rings. Lol
But looked like failure came from PO not cleaning saw filter and rest of saw looked like it hadn't been cleaned since rebuild ?

Got a nice shaped Dolmar 5105 (2009 model/pre spring assist start), white coil. I thought I got lucky on this one. 
Started checking it over... pulled muffler and seen a carbon mark on the exhaust side, but would buff out and I couldn’t feel it.
Checked gas and it had half a tank that looked like mud coming out.
The picture makes it look good. Drained that, threw the carb in the US, checks line (blew out more mud) pulled original filter, removed Champion plug. Compression seemed ok, scoped the cylinder and it looked good just a lot of carbon in the exhaust....and very wet inside with s grey ting.
Noticed a lot of black/gray what I thought was bar oil around the clutch so I removed it....
And found this.... thought that’s easy.... until I grabbed the crank end and gave it a wiggle. Not good I could feel and see a lot of play. Well now bearings too. Let’s get it down and split the case.... did that and found this...

Case came apart but crank ends were still in bearings. I figured this is a tough little saw as it must ran quit awhile with a broken crank until it took out the seal and wouldn’t run any more. Definitely evidence inside and by looking at the break that it seen some use after it broke.
Never seen a crank break like this!!! Anyone else??? Lower rod bearing was still in good shape and functional. Guess I’ll need to find a new pre assist start crank if my plans are to continue.
I got this with using a 51 Husky piston or at least playing around to see what works. Setback but not defeated.....yet.
