It’s safe to say it ate some steel. This piston and cylinder now Rest In Peace. A new crank, bearings, seals, and top end are on their way.

If thats the only damage to the cylinder, id port the hell out of it and run thee.

Are they both aftermarket? Or just the piston?

The jug looks AM to me

Both are aftermarket. The big bore cylinder is heavily ported and has ten or more years of run time. I threw it in the scrap pile and will be starting over with a different port scheme on a 50mm cylinder.

Did it lose a wrist pin clip? I see the one is still in there. I’d cut those ears off and put the gap at 12:00

Wasn’t a clip. An odd set of circumstances led to a small end bearing roller falling out of the bearing. The issue wasn’t caught until the ticking became too consistent to ignore.

The saw received a tailgate rebuild this afternoon. On to another 10 years of operation.

Which bearings do you prefer?

 

[White Mountain Saws]

I put timken 6202 bearings in this saw. I had them in storage from a good deal I picked up online a few years back.

I don’t have a strong preference regarding outer crank bearings.
