Tom, what do you make of Brad bending a crankshaft with a piston stop? Poor technique, uneven application with breaker bar, or?
I find that a rare one indeed considering I've used a piston stop on 100's of those 180's and never damaged a one. I've also used piston stops in all models of Stihls, many 100's of them over the years and never had one single problem.
I'd say Brad's 180 had a weak connecting rod. Stihl has sold over 40 million chainsaws Space and they continue recomend a piston stop. So with those numbers what do you think??
