Start coarse and finish off around 320I see it now. You must of been posting at the same time I was
The 460 jug says Stihl on it, but I can not find any indication who made it, am I looking in the wrong place? The 046-D jug says both Stihl & Mahle (on the opposite side) on it.
I've found it just as easy to compress them with my fingers, but the ring compressors are helpful sometimes.
I had some stihl made 084 cylinders back when. Could see the difference.
I don't think Stihl ever made any of the jugs for 084. From my service bulletins and microfiche- Mahle and Gilardoni seem to have been the manufacturers on those.
I figure some one must have made them for Stihl. My D jug says Mahle on it (in addition to Stihl), but the 460 jug just says Stihl (unless I don't know where to look).
Dont forget our host of this forum has alot of the tools needed also.http://pages.ebay.com/link/?nav=item.view&id=181066594620&alt=web
Mike get this for the cylinder/ring reassembly which will make life much better
I just replaced the crank in my 460 that when rotated the bottom connecring rod bearing felt notchy! Ran fine but noisy so I replaced itIf the rod has a little side-to-side movement, that's ok. You want absolutely no up and down movement.
Thats true. Sorry fellows! What member owns HLSUPPLY?Dont forget our host of this forum has alot of the tools needed also.![]()
Radial movement is okay.Another question for you guys with more experience than me:
All of the bearing seem very tight, except, when I turn the piston right to left, the bottom of the rod moves a bit, just enough to see. IS THIS A PROBLEM? I can not detect any movement up or down.
Also, Jeremy, you use that mandrel (I made one) inside the ports?
Sounds like it's fine MikeI know side to side is OK, and I can not detect any up or down, but if I twist the piston, there is a little lower rod movement. I have no experience with how tight this should be.
