Well my first ms660 I've had ruffly ten tanks through it and the cylinder and piston are ugly although it was still running really good but I thought I would tare it down and put a new cylinder and piston in it and I've got a full tank run through it and the results are looking way better I took the muffler cover off and piston and cylinder look like they should and should be fine now My second ms660 is still lacking a lot of parts before it runs but I'm still thinking about it and I my chang some things on it just because Lol like let's say maybe big bore Lol

Ok I am trying to find out how many of us are subject to this problem. I don't recall I have two or three in mine. I will pull the muffler on mine, can we see the crank bearing from there. I forget some you can some you can't. I would be upset if mine failed. I had that darn cylinder on mine and could tell something was very wrong pulled it off and checked it close put the farmertec back on it and prayed I was ok. Now he says it happened with the farmertec top. Wondering

Well my crankshaft and rod looked great but these two on the other hand. Lol. Not so great I think the cylinder is not perfectly rounded.IMG_20180411_150032.jpg IMG_20180411_145812.jpg IMG_20180411_145739.jpg

Yes this is the farmertec ms660. But the cylinder and piston kit that I just put on it is also farmertec so so far everything is still farmertec ms660 other than intake boot and carb and gas and oil caps and vent.

I am trying to understand what you are showing in the pictures. The questions are about the pictures.

So what you are showing happened to you and you replaced them and the second set is installed and looks fine so far? Is that correct,?

Well we got a problem Huston, that's a big fat surprise. Here we talk to one another. All of us. And we are not clear enough with one another when a problem rears its head. I do not trust mine now. My tops coming off if Goldy tell me he only has 3. We have a time bomb

Yep a big problem my new one is junk the Nici cracked on the intake side of the bore I'm not happy but I'll be spending some money on the cylinder and piston kit that I was going to get a highway cylinder and a meteor piston......... Can't see spending more money on another farmertec cylinder that two I don't want to try for there in fear that the third one might kill every thing so spend the money in the right place cylinder and piston for me. I will be posting pictures when I get the new cylinder kits. Uuug

I'm not sure how many tanks I ran but it was roughly 15 gallons. I have been mixing 5 gallons at a time And 5 gallons had been lasting around 3 days so it's had some serious use lately. 32:1 may have saved it but for how much longer I'm not sure.
 
Now that I see your pics my piston was worn in the same spot but way worst likely due to all the extra hours. I'll try and find the piston for a pic I chunked it into the woods

My crankshaft and rod look great nice and smooth while rotation so I think it's cylinder and piston that's more of an issue with these kits I'm pretty confident if I get a good cylinder kit from highway and meteor piston this thing will last a long time

Man I don't know. I ran 5 or 6 threw it today. My guess would be 40 or 50. I have used the fare out of it. I have went threw 4 or 5 chains.

I knew yours predated mine. My manufacturing run is the one we need to worry about. That's why I now think the same company made the cross as cut those in the kits. The excat same failures. It was to late for me but tomorrow I will look at mine. I am bet I will not like what I see. I will just not run it until I replace it, if it's not pretty and it should be unless mine is in affected group.

I could not pull the thing with the cross cylinder, it clinked when it entered the cylinder and hit in the same spot as MG's
