Stihl 056av super cylinder

[log_jammer]

Hey all! I'm getting ready to buy an 056av super and before I do, I'm interested to know if there is an oversized piston/cylinder available for this saw? Like a 075/076? Not sure obviously, but just curious for down the road if I blow it up. Thanks in advance.

Oversize piston?..........In short, No.

056 mag 2 has a 56mm bore vs the super with 54mm. Same stroke.

93cc vs 87cc

I don't think that is a straight bolt on. Bolt holes in super case are different than Mag Cyl.

Correct!

Great info

Might be able to make the mag cyl fit by slotting the bolt holes to match the super case? Not sure if anyone has done this?

Similar conversion works for 038S to 038M

It can be done and has been done. I'm sure there's a thread covering it, buried some where here on AS.

Thanks fellas. Very informative. Guess I'll just get the saw anyway since it's a hell of a deal and if I hurt it down the line then I'll worry about that then. Thanks again.
