Stihl 066

[Pcbw69]

Hi
Just got a good deal on an 066. Everything is oem except a metor piston and rings. The saw is an absolute beast and has no issues as far as I can tell but there are some cracks and small pieces that broke off on the bottom of the bar side of the crankcase. If this damage causes any trouble in the future I was thinking of buying an aftermarket case and some new bearings. Does anyone have any experience rebuilding with aftermarket cases? Would it compromise the quality of the saw?

You think?

Depends on what you have. There isn’t an AM 066 case IIRC, just a 660. The problem you have is that there are many models of 066. Flat top, bubble top, short case, poly and non poly flywheel and some transition saws in between.

Pics of the damage?

The 660 AM cases are actually fairly good. If it was my saw, I’d get a skillEd guy like Shaun Carr to just repair the oem case.
