Hi experts I have a 52mm factory piston that is taller than a piston for a ms460. I got it in trade and have no clue what model it is for. On the top is engraved C1603 348. Inside is 1128. KS 16. 52122. 46C 281. any help is appreciated. It is the piston on the right side. Left side is a ms460 piston. Thank you.

Germans work on the metric system :laugh:

Your .890 throws my theory- unless your measurement is from pin centre to top- then it is pretty close to 064 spec.
 
Thanks for the info. Yes metric system. I did go from the pin top center to top of piston
 
Does it have a taller cylinder? I mistakenly tried it in the 460 before I knew what it was and the thing bottomed out.

Honestly- I dont know- 460 crank is the same I think- but 461 is 4 port transfers? Cylinder and cases are totally different.
I will happily admit 461 and 462 are saws I have had very little to do with and could not tell you if the top of pin to top of piston is near 2mm taller for the 461- but that would help explain the 1128 part number.
