Hello everyone!
I'm in the process of repairing a forestal saw, STIHL FS550,destroyed by an air leak.
Today while reinstalling the crankshaft I've seen that the upper hole where the piston pin goes,it's not very round,but It seem like on side is bigger than the other.
In the photo you can see what I mean. Is this possibile? Or maybe they can be in this state from new? Never paid too much attention but I don't think I've seen anything like this before

its certainly offset to one side, but did you measure the bore?
