No, I had the two halves of the cases in the oven and the crank in the freezer, the crank went fine into the bearings but the oil seal kept getting pushed out. I wouldn't blame it on the parts, just my inexperience. I'd post a picture but I never took one before I started. Here is the link to the Hutzl 361 build if you are curious. http://www.arboristsite.com/community/threads/huztle-ms361.302279/#post-6024916

I can't answer that question from experience, but after looking on some other threads I do believe it is direct replacement.

The compression on my alpina a40 checked to be only 100 psi but the cylinder and piston looks great. It has a two ring piston. The saw has a 40 mm bore. Does anyone know of another saw that has a 40 mm bore and that I could get caber rings for.
Thanks
It looks like it uses 1.5mm thick rings

Next time use tin snips and cut out a square of soda can roll it in a tube and put it into your seal it will try to unroll opening up your i.d. so the crank will go through then pull the rolled can out.

I felt like I remembered seeing another saw that had 40mm rings and I remembered correctly haha

And if they don't fit, I will personally buy the rings back off of you.

I also couldn't find a thickness, so hopefully it's a standard thickness

If there too thick most machine shops can put them on a surface grinder

I agree, but what am I putting together now, one of them blasted new-fangled plastic saws (hutzl ms361 clone if your curious). Ugh I feel like a criminal, but i that anti-vibe. Also, congrats on becoming a AS Guru![/QUOT

Ms 361 still has a mag crankcase, i have a real oem ms361 very good quality saw i decked mine out with a wide clutch cover big double dawgs tank guard and a 25" bar
