AM rist pin bearings

[rattler]

How many of you use them and can you really trust them?

I've used quite a few. I've got a lot of runtime on the one in my 046 milling and all.

Ok Mike I got mix feelings on the things I had one come apart but I got a 660 to put back together and he brought me AM so I guess that is what I am useing.

I've had oem clutch bearings come apart and oem wrist pin bearings that were coming apart. I think it's really a crap shoot now.

I have trust issues.....

For the cost difference, I won't use AM wp bearings

Clutch bearings, yes. I'm skeered of the wp bearings

I've had 3 come apart.
All 3 were 288 bearings so I'm done with them. It's a shame because some oem ones are stupid high.

Just ask the customer if he trust them put them

I have used several little red barn pin bearings without issue. Now i will only use oem or weisco for my skis and bikes. Had a few turn to sheet on them. Probably because the wick is turned up on them much higher then any of my saws.

I will add the ones I've had fail were not in Stock saws.

too skeerd to use the AM wrist pin bearings.
When doing a rebuild I just can't bear the thought of something going whacko because I decided to try to save a few bucks.
Even though Stihl is crazy about some of these dadgum things!

I've used 2 husky AM wrist pin bearings and I've had 2 fail. So I won't be doing that again. The AM stihl ones look much better but both Husky ones had cage failures.

I had one AM wrist pin bearing race fail and I caught it before the whole thing came apart. I only use OEM on wrist pin bearings now.

We had a one in a 385 fail .

Thanks for the input on the things I was just wondering how many had come to the same conclusion I had.
