Hey guys, as I posted in another thread I am rebuilding a blown up MS 361. Just got a whole bunch of parts in the mail today, got a really nice cylinder and piston kit from meteor and it looks like amazing quality. Other than the cylinder kit and some other parts, I got a set of bearings and seals, and also a few gaskets in the mail as well.
Wondering if you guys think these are some good quality bearings? They seem like they’re pretty good, but I’ve never heard of the brand you can see the little letters etched on the edge of the bearings, are these brands good or should I go with some thing like SKS or NTN bearings? Not sure if anyone has heard of RTS saw shop but they are a seller on eBay who also claims to work on saws too so I hope they are decent quality if a shop is using them/selling them.
On the original cylinder from Stihl, it had a metal cylinder base gasket, but the seal kit came with a paper type one, is that OK to use or should I get a metal one?
Also, I believe these are the correct piston wrist pin circlips, correct? Which way should the clip openings face?
