I'm guessing the saw had a 288 piston?

The one on my bench is an oem flat top

288 wrist pin bearings are fine as long as you use Oem and not aftermarket

I was just saying that the aftermarket bearings were the problem on the 288's wrist pin bearing, not the cause of this saws death. I have no clue about this saw. It's a sad sight tho, looked like a nice saw.

Ok yeah I totally agree about the bearings, any aftermarket wrist pin bearing is junk for that matter. Even on the 66 big bores

I'll keep that in mind when I build my 288
