Cylinder swap on stihl034

[Dano]

Hello. I have a Stihl 034. I know they sell kits for this , 48 mm cyl with piston. I wonder if I can instal a 038 kit on it that has a 52 mm cyl with piston. The Block and cylinder stud mounts look the same. That would bring up the cc and power .The stroke is the same on the models so as long as the rod and piston pin is the same it should work. Anyone done this ?thanks

The OEM 036 cylinder gives you the MOST performance

It has been done. Requires a bit of machining. It's an old thread so unfortunately the pics are gone.

The 036 cylinder with the decomp has different shaped fins on it. These interfere with the plastic on the 034 and you either need to cut the cylinder or the plastics for the cover to go on. fwiw.
