Yes, you are right, first I need to look at the cylinder, I found an Lrb piston or I can try to convert the piston to thicker rings. Then I would buy 52.5mm metric rings
 
A 26 LCS question
I got a seal for the flywheel side that was leaking and installed it.
Then I pressure tested again and found a hole in the crankcase that leaked under pressure. It is on the edge close to the belt case.
Is this a case where it’s supposed to be open ? The parts saw I have has a casting mark but no hole
Thanks

I don't have a picture but it's like any other Homelite 6 shoe clutch with 2 garter springs, but the widest they ever made. Standard 2100 clutch is 3/4" wide. My saw also has the matching sandcast clutch cover that goes with the clutch and the wider full wrap. It's an impressive looking clutch and heavy.

I thought I had gotten back to you on this, but I can't find my post, so I probably messed it up somehow.
Anyway my 26 does have that hole in the case, and it appears to go clear to the crankshaft. My saw turns over with compression, but it's missing some pieces, so I've never tried to start it. It looks, however, as if it was used with that hole open; there is no provision for plugging it.
