880 oils seals

[Procut]

I just picked me up some from HLSupply and was wondering if anyone has used them. Should I go OEM or just install them. I have a Stihl seal puller but am wondering how difficult is it to install in the 880. Thanks in advance.

Hey bud.
I'm no too fluent in the "big honking size" saws...but in general I avoid the AM seals. I try to price the "gasket kits" as they are generally cheaper then purchasing just the seals. (Seals are included in kit with case gaskets and some other bits). Clean off the crank shaft real well and light lube the inner seal lip.
You have a service manual ?
I'll email you one if you need

Thanks guys , I had a few saws returned to me from evidence and this 880 is one of them , got it back scored but cylinder can be saved. Just got an OEM piston kit for it but feel the need to replace seals.

Gotta hope there is a 'special' place in Hell for scumbags and thieves...
