Stihl 046

[MustangMike]

Sounds like fun, but your 066 is a BRUTE!!! I also got an 044 and a 440!

I HAD one. Gone now. Traded my stock 440 to Doc so he can do a hybrid.

How high is the compression supposed to be on the 046 ?

Most saws are 160-180

ok . Thanks that's what I thought . This one is pretty low at 130 .

My 046 (SN 140***) had compression (stock) of 175. After porting it is 205.

Did you pull the muffler & check your piston & cylinder?

Hard to tell from my phone, but it that a big chunk of piston missing?

Must be running some of the new Ashless oil people keep talking about? Man, that entire picture is ugly

Yep that's a piece of piston missing . Chances are good it did a lot of damage when it went .

Dayum. I've never seen a rod through the exhaust port before.

It happens. We tried 4 different t27's on @Time's Standing Stihl's saw in Iowa. Only one that would get it was my Irwin. I got home and it snapped off 3 bolts later. I've since bought 2 of the impact rated 6" Irwin t27.

That ones dickered. I'd love to see more pictures of the carnage when you get that cylinder off.
I'm betting it's gonna need crank bearings, crank, piston and cylinder. Maybe more

He should have rung me up at $125. If he sells it to me I'll still sell you the cylinder
