Want to Trade Straight swap anyone? 084 crankshaft for 088

[Paddymelon]

G'day everyone!

Just to feed my hobby, albeit a reasonably new hobby, I'm looking for a crankshaft in good condition to suit a Stihl 088.

What I have to offer is the same for a Stihl 084 as a straight swap. I have managed to aquire 2 of these (084) from seized saws but only one 088 seized, with an obviously cooked engine (crank on the right in last pic)

As most of you would know the 084 crank will fit in the 088 but the flywheel side taper etc is shorter and thinner, thus no good!

If anyone out there would be keen please let me know via PM here.

Cheers!

I know a guy wanting a 084 crank and has a 088 crank. Going to try and hook you 2 up.

Yep I see he already got rid of the 088 crank. Hey I tried. Good Luck.

If I come across one I will link you there.

Join the club, I have an 880 that's only one year old with the same issue, also have a few 084 cranks but I would be fairly confident no one wants them.

I was under the impression that the 880 and the 088 were the same crank, but you say the 084/088 crank has a different taper only ? when I look at the two side by side the 880 crank looks beefier, I haven't measured it, I didn't think I would need too, it may just be an optical illusion... Interesting though, the 880 even looks wider than the 084 one's, unless the 084 cranks I think I have are 66's ?

Yep I haven't pulled down a 880, only 088 and 084 so I wouldn't know if there's any subtle differences.

I'm pretty sure the 066 crank would start with 1122 PN.

I stopped measuring once I realised the flywheel side was flopping around and never going to fit. Stopped measuring and started swearing!!

Anyone reading this know if it's possible for engine rebuilders can replace the big end bearing in the 088 crank?

Normally the pin is trashed.....
