The Death of a Saw (and I'm a Dick)

[paragonbuilder]

My first guess would have been rare defective caber ring broke if I didn't know more...

Piston looks cracked, did it lose a chunk?

I thought Dallas was the Dick!

You are getting closer... look close at that piston.

Not enough port bevel

Nope. Smooth as a baby behind.

So, check out the OEM Stihl "S"

The burn pattern?

Ding ding ding!!!

It's not an "S", it's a "G".

I thought it was an OEM Slug and tried to save the future owner a free bucks by reusing it. The prior owner told me he has just re-pistoned the saw. Said it was a meteor or oem. Didn't remember. eBay buy.

The piston had normal burn on it and looked pristine.

So where'd that "OEM" piston come from ? Be nice to know .

2 learning points here.

Never trust the prior seller unless you personally know them, and then it's still a maybe.

Never trust anything AM to be a quality product.

So is that a golf piston, or is the g for something else?

So the AM ring was 1.45mm thick. The caber and OEM were 1.15mm thick.

I didn't notice when I slipped them on.

So rings fluttered. Ripped up the transfers till they caught.
