Just make sure the skirt ain't worn too much.

I think it ought to be ok, there was no cylinder transfer and I couldn't catch a fingernail on any of that ugliness. It came off with almost no effort. I checked several spots around the piston with the micrometer and couldn't find any measurable difference in piston diameter.

Can someone please explain to me why so many Stihl tanks have peyronie's disease? The bend in the tank makes the gap from the filter to the top cover crooked and it looks like the saw got run over. I've seen this on lots of 026s and several 036s and now this 034 I've got.

Usually the half wrap is bent or you have some AV rubbers worn out

New 462. Haven’t been in a saw in over a year. Feel like a fish out of water.

Pretty interesting how that changed the inside of it. The crankcase stuffer now on the exhaust side and the piston seems more sturdy without the cutout on the intake skirt.

This will be a high altitude saw. Buddy heats with an OWB and his front door in CO is at 10,100 ASL
