Stihl 028 WB Rebuild | Full Restoration

[wkmincey]

My first total rebuild was an 028 also, but I wasn't nearly as "Chip Foose" about it as you are. Looking good on your rebuild, I am jonesing for some more pics, especially the newly powdercoated parts.

I'm jonesing to get the parts back with fresh powder coat. Just as soon as they are back, I'll update the thread with plenty of pics. Everything else is ready to go-new seals, bearings, rubber and plastics.

I see the muffler. Will the PC hold up to that kind of heat?

 

[Cardston]

Mike has some new PC that is good up to 1000 F. So I'm going to try it out. 028 mufflers seem pretty easy to come by-so if it doesn't work out, I'll slap a different one on.

 

[Duane(Pa)]

Should easily stay under 1000. I would say cool but? Well, sweet then!

Higher rez images courtesy of Mike (glock37). I like the look of bare magnesium. It almost seems a shame to cover it up. Maybe I'll do a future saw with just a clear coat to protect it.

With out powder on the pieces they feel flimsy

when you add 10 to 12 mils it gets the feel that it not's so flimsy

Clear powder would be neat !

these parts where bead blasted they feel cool and the surface is smooth

Sorry if this is a dumb question , are you going to powder coat the plastics on this saw , I didn't know you could /can you , , be neat if you can yeah , great neat finish on the bead blasting nice work

 

[glock37]

No you cant do the plastic.

You have to bake the powder at 400 f for 10 mins.

All the parts that are freshly bead blasted, including the tank, are metal.

This thread is great, cant wait to see the poweder coating results. Were you able to find a new wood boss decal for the clutch cover?

I've spent quite a bit of time looking for the decal with no luck. I have a couple pictures of some that I've gleaned from the web. If a decal doesn't pop up on eBay, I can recreate the graphics in Photoshop and print it on clear sticker paper. But I'm holding out for an original one first.

 

[cedarshark]

The blasted metal pieces turned out really well. Clear coated metal with black covers would be sharp.

 

[nnero]

Hopefully an original will pop up but at least you have an alternative. This saw is going to look so nice (basically it'll be brand new) you will have to have one on there lol

Those parts do look very nice indeed.

Sorry I'm late. Just got home from running my boat down from Alaska.
