[QUOTE="Dan_IN_MN, post: 3545827, member: 31782"] Trevor Usually when ran without oil in the gas the piston is the first thing to go. It gets the hottest. Not knowing the history of the saw....I would suggest a PSI/vac test before taking it apart. The crank bearings should have enough lubrication residue to survive! Seal replacement is probably a good idea as that is an older saw and the seals are old. Buying a complete gasket set which contains the seals is usually cheaper than buying the individual seals from Stihl. That saw also uses a rubber intake boot which should be inspected for cracks or tares. I guess I wouldn't consider myself an 'expert'....but I've worked with a few saws and other mechanical items.
