I am building the saw and only have an IPL and on this one thats tuff and my focus was on the case part. I am making videos. The brake assembly took me much longer than I expected but I whooped it. The assemblies are similar but very different. I wrote them in case there is something we need to know and so they can stop the kits and fix it or put a big note in the box if its an error like it looks.

My bearing should be here tomorrow and I can put the top on. I am going with the arrow is point the wrong way unless I hear from them first. Will advise when I hear.

Before you put the rings on, slide the piston inside the cylinder with arrow pointing both ways, and have a look inside both the exhaust and intake port. I think you will see in one orientation the end gaps will travel across the port.

One other thing before you button the top up. Check your ring end gaps and P/C clearance at the skirt. You can do this crudely with some feeler gauges.
 
They wrote back and in fact that is an error but only on a few of them. They have set a correction in motion. And on the few pistons that are pointing in the wrong direction just reverse the piston, but all futures ones are will be corrected.

They looked. They are quick. Soon as they hit the warehouse he had inventoried and assessed. But your right checking it a good idea.
 
Abridged video of the case assembly. If you need more look at the MS660 video I will put a link for that one as well. The top end I hope to make today if the bearing comes.












The MS660 case assembly in full if you need more, they go together the same way.

Still waiting for the bearing...

My ring retaining pins are opposite the arrow on my piston. They are on the intake side.
 
From my understanding not something they usually stock at dealer but distributor usually does.
