Hahaha, thanks Woodie, you proved my point about the sources, when you don't have a clue just join it with some fun and hey I got no problem with that at all,:cheers::cheers::cheers:

Don't get mad because woodie has been giving you the smack down for almost a day now.
 
TT,

Whoa! I forgot about that. Never had an 026/260. I'd best be careful. With a new piston for the 44.7 mm, will it matter?

Joat

Yes, you need the right size piston for the cylinder. Also you will need
the spacer for muffler if its 44.7mm and it should be 44.7mm if it came off a new saw. See pdf file I posted about the spacer (post #595).

If I were a Stihl dealer I would be very upset at the cylinder quality. If Stihl keeps on putting out poor quality parts it will hurt your livelihood down the road.

Depends on how much service work you do and how good your tech's are :)
 
Is yours a quailty issue or a workmanship issue, I think its the latter isn't it..

Not so fast there, Sport. The piston in your pic has one ring, the piston in Brad's has two. That leads me to believe that the assembly you pulled out is probably older.

Part of the point Brad is making is that Stihl quality is descending over time...could this be more proof?

Furthermore, I don't see scored pistons.....Why did they need to be torn apart? :popcorn:

Look at the rod Woodie,hehehe same part. And yes some had single rings and some had two, course you wouldn't know that now would ya. However it does show theres a quailty issue with his work and my work. Should we assume Brad is now going downhill, his quality has fallen off, better not pay him for any work when you see work like that, all saw builders must do work like that, he's a saw builder and if he does non-sense like that they all must do work like that. Thats what he's saying about that cylinder, all BS finally makes a complete circle, his just caught up with him finally. I said you got to consider the sources so there you have it.

round and round we go where we stop nobody knows. LOL
 
So lets talk about this rod and piston and you tell me why it doesn't look like yours, I took them out, big differance isn't it but I do it for a living, not a hobby.



LMAO!

:cheers:

thats about 3 times in this thread i wanted to made a point but the Master beatme2it!

The issue is though we know steals quality is going downhill. There has been complaints about it for a year. I don't remember there being complaints before that. So 4 builders within the year have all said something about it. So wheather you like it or not its a happening. With there cylinders at least.

Booker when the paying customers start complaining there is a issue Stihl will, like they always have, will striaghten it out. Saw building is fun, its a hobby but its so small the manufactures could care less what they think, in fact they despised that practice all together. Thats a well known fact the saw builders will not dare tell anyone. 4 builders opinions verses the entire buying population, get real Booker, even Tony Soprano would laff his azz off,LOLOL
 
Same part? Maybe same part #, but is it possible that the one Brad pulled out was made...gasp!...in Brazil?

Maybe maybe maybe, maybe I know how to do it and Brad doesn't, come on Woodie aren't ya gonna give ya ole buddy any credit at all, hehehe
 
Dog,

I know where it'll stop. PM me if you must know.

At your service,

Joat

Its already stopped Joat. The huge fan club is now scratching thier heads wondering man that guy can't remove a piston and he's a authority on quality, hmmmmmmmmmm, what the hell did we fall for.

Sad lesson learned. Be carefull of stones that you throw, you know that song Joat, good one and true...

Tommy,

Plenty of people have weighed in on the quality of that cylinder, and almost no one has said it's acceptable.

The rest of this is a distraction.

And yes, I'll give my ol' buddy credit. But I wish you'd just admit it! You know stihl did it, just admit it!! :D
