Wrist Pins.......

[Chainsaw Jim]

Got $20 I can borrow?

No really, I’ve already got the answer I was looking for by members in this thread I’ve known and trusted for a long time.

If I go the pipe saw route, it’s something that will get minimal run time. Perhaps 10-20min run time per year? Maybe....if that.
If I were a logger or even a guy that depended on a saw for heat or income, I think you’re absolutely correct.....buy a new pin.
But I already have (2) brand new never used Meteor pins. So why wouldn’t those work...in a work saw? They would.

I'd have gladly sent you a brand new oem one if you weren't so condescending and wherever that was at the end of your first reply. I was only trying to help.

Gotcha there.....rotating mass and reciprocating mass are two different forces.

I don't see the piston weight as kinetic energy. As it starts and stops. The heavier it is, the harder it is on the bottom end.

Talking to a friend that designs pistons every day for Mahle, he told me changing upper RPM limit from 12,500 to 13,000 is amazing the difference on bottom end and such even on a saw sized motor.

Hey ...if it grenades we fix ...no worries [emoji106]

God bless the men who invented Weldering, Hammering and of course Grindering. !!!!!


fixering would be so boring without these three major food groups...

Weldering is now one of my favorite words.

Dude, you need to relax and quit taking me so damn serious. Ever since the McCulloch incident with Al when I simply told you to “calm down”, you seem to think imadik.
This whole pin thread has turned too serious for you I guess.
You stated your opinion, and like everyone else’s opinion here, I value that.
I’ve got no beef with you or anyone else here.......at least that I’m aware of.

Randy, I'm not sure if you have a copy of "The Mechanics handbook to jobsite language" but I looked up "Weldering"and
basically its the art of joining two metals with the best machines( most expensive usually) available and all the correct tooling and gadgets without any "Skills".... as opposed to "Welding" which is like what Shawn Carr, Mike Lee , Doc Al and many others who can "join metals" with the cheapest simplest oldest tooling available and make it art like...

I am a proud member of the "Welderers Union"....

I think a similar analogy for you would be "portering"....

Dear Sir.

I am not a porter.

No sir.........I am a Grinderer. And a Welderer.

@Adirondackstihl what does the oem piston weigh compared to the meteor?

Gimme a bit.
Tryna feed the kiddos and chill for a bit.

I’ve got (2) different OEM pistons to weigh.
One is Mahle, the other KS.
Considerable differences between them.
And I’ll compare them to Meetyore

If the KS is a new piston then that would be my choice. Check crown height though, I bet it's lower.
