Man it's beautiful up there I miss it.

Bearings are all fine, main rod and shaft bearings. I wonder if a ring caught. Lots of sharp edges in the transfers…no real bevels. Two ring pieces, 3/16” in the bottom.Looks like the big end bearing came apart and took it all out.
Your shaft is bigger than @redline4 Ed’sUnsolicited picture of shaft!View attachment 427834
Lol i wonder if Calvin is still trying to get doughnations.Only a few will remember this
We got nothing down hereGood morning folks.
Those hoped for moistures left us with 1.45" of much needed drizzle and downpour.
That crank looked rough....but hard to tell from pictures. Ring locating pin is missing out of the piston ain't it?Bearings are all fine, main rod and shaft bearings. I wonder if a ring caught. Lots of sharp edges in the transfers…no real bevels. Two ring pieces, 3/16” in the bottom.
So...some JB and sanding and all good for this cyl?
362...tag said 'wont run, low compression '
Didn't look bad through the exhaust port. Not stuck, turned fine.
Went to pull jug...uh...stuck now.
Ring chunks in the bottom, crank got a little warm...

Stihl's never "fail", they just refuse to make noise any longer.Looks just like my 441 when the big end rod bearing failed.
Cataracts?At the eye doctor scheduling surgery. Near the end of August seems to be the go date.
My Grandpa used to say he wanted a Rincoln but got a Cataract.Cataracts?
Are you saying that your reputation proceeds you?Good morning guys. Another roof framing class this week. But only 5 students here this week
