MS 460 wristpin keeper..

[Bj Shock]

I tried to use the search feature to find a thread on disassembling this bottom end, but the ads get in the way. What should I do?

Got it apart...

The junk bearings could cause a wristpin clip to pop out?

Ive seen that on my shovelheads...

Found this....

Gosh Dang. I like this guy.
He dont F around...

I know one thing, the 1/2" drive socket is a goner! I would think that if they used thread locker on it it would be loosened up by heating but it wasn't. I plan on taking it back to the owner and explaining it to him.

6 point impact socket?

Thanks for all the replies.

I just turned 62 and I am still learning...


Had to beat the cyl. to get it off the piston.

Look what I found..

6 point impact socket?

Yes, it kinda tore the edges off the six points. I ground the end of the socket first so it would grab more of the nut but it still tore it up. I still have the 026 that the owner glued the fuel line together. I guess it leaked and ran lean and burned the top end up. All that to save a few bucks on a new fuel line..

I don’t see how but anything is possible. You mentioned it had an AM piston. AM clips are usually soft and don’t have much spring to them. And most failures are likely from poor metallurgy or the clips get kinked or twisted from improper installation

I need to go to one-o- the local Stihl dealers and order
some parts...

Crankshaft assy.
Seals, bearings, and gaskets...
Piston/cyl. kit..And a new clutch assy.

The dealers hate me tho.. LOL

I might be interested in the carcass if he decides not to rebuild

 

[Bj Shock]

Common sense prevailed
He paid me for my labor and took the MS 460 home in a box-o-parts.

I told him someone was interested in the carcass

He said he figgers its worth 300 bucks... Minus the bar and chain.

I told him I would give him 1oo and he could keep the bar and chain.

He got mad and left.
LOL
