064av parts availabilty

[paul soccodato]

are parts for an 064av still available? can they be ordered through a local dealer from stihl or do i have to go aftermarket? thanks

99% sure all parts are still available........some parts may have changed over
the years, like when they changed metal air filter cover, metal one may not be available..........but I have been wrong before

I did buy OEM 064 Piston and cylinder kit this year.
What parts do you need?

 

[paul soccodato]

trigger thanks for the input. i picked up a 064av free from a friend. the saw looks like a wreck. i havent ripped into it yet,so i dont know what it needs. i was just wondering where to look when the time comes.

 

[paul soccodato]

i started to tear down the 064, i think its going to need a priest!

If you are going to pull clutch, do it before pulling cylinder off.
Is their any play in crank bearings?
How does the piston & cylinder look, what you can see of it?

 

[paul soccodato]

piston & cylinder look good on the intake side, and look pretty bad on the exhaust side. i'll post more pics when i get it apart.

From the appearance of the muffler I would say that 064 has been run really hot for a time. You're probably going to need bearings, seals, piston + rings, the works.

Sometimes that free stuff is the most expensive in the long run

I wouldn't get too worried about the condition until you tear it all the way down and clean it up, then you can realy see what you have. I would definitely throw some money into making it run. I beat you can find a lot of used parts out there for it, you just have to hunt.

Good luck and keep us updated.

+100!!!!! don't I know it...

well i got it apart, piston is shot,rings are stuck in the grooves only on the exhaust side, slight scuffing on cylinder, cylinder might be salvageable. I'm going to hone it a bit to see if it cleans up, bearings look OK.

any ideas what at piston and cylinder kit goes for?

I think MSRP was $225 when I bought mine.

The cylinder might clean up.

Before you get to far into it, check the main bearings and crank...

Did it have a metal cylinder gasket? It don't matter, but if it did
I think some one has been in it before.

i looked at the bearings on the entire rotating assembly, they look good, spin freely (no binding or rough spots), they dont seem to have excessive play.

the gasket at the base of the cylinder was a paper or fiber of some sort.

 

[Lakeside53]

The main bearings shouldn't have any perceptable play.

 

[Dennis Cahoon]

A problem I had with the 064/066 was spinning a bearing in the case, which causes the bushing on the clutch side of the cases to become loose and cause an air leak. Check the crank for end play. Lost a few big end bearings on the crank also, but never broke one.

 

[paul soccodato]

i have no play in any of the side bearings, i have a little play in the big end of the connecting rod, very little.

what should i do with the paint/coating inside the crankcase? its flaking off. i'll remove all the loose stuff, but does it need to be recoated?

thanks!

 

[blsnelling]

Remove the loose and leave it. Do not paint it.

 

[paul soccodato]

another question. when i got the saw, it was missing an air filter and cover. the ipl i have (for the 064) lists 3 different covers and 3 different air filters. any ideas as to which ones i need to get.

i would like to put the hd filter like my newer saws if possible.
