Okay stripped it down before, due to the marking on the edge of the piston.
Obvious to me something has been floating round in there?
Original Stihl cylinder, have photos of numbers attached.
No up and down movement in crank, some sideways, (normal?) but has movement in the piston/wristpin area. Circlips attached still.
Minor marks in cyl, nothing I can feel with fingernails
Don't know if this is Stihl piston or not, rings are free.
Does anything here look like a failing seal or air leak? Saw was running 100% as always but I thought I heard a rattle for a few seconds.
Appreciate your knowledge guys, I'll get Stihl shop to check crank before I purchase anything.
