That's odd......my response didn't post right....Lee if you can't bring up my reply the answer is yes they are all the same from the 49SP to the 90....
Thanks Robin.
Merry Christmas to you and yours!

Same you Lee.....and everyone else on here for that matter!!!!
I got a new piston for my 525 and it has gone on well, both clips secured in their grooves not flying around the shop. I can't seem to slip the cylinder over the piston. Tried a zip tie but didn't work. I guess I need a proper ring clamp or check out Youtube
Baileys(and probably others) has some plastic ring compressors that are cheap and work great.
Scratch that....can't find them on their site right now. Maybe I didn't buy them there. They have a nice metal old-school ring compressor for about 15 bucks. The set I bought were orange plastic. I'm thinking then on eBay under chainsaw tools maybe.
Pretty sure this is it:

I swear Bailey's carried that a couple of yrs ago.

I ponied up for like kit. Works great. Piston stop, or whatever that plastic knob thingy is, hasn't seen any action. I'd much prefer the rope in the hole technique, if in fact it is a stop.

I use the rope technique, have read a few horror stories about piston stops..
Why would you need a piston stop to replace a top end?
OK got it in! Newb mistake, I had the ring on upside down. Flipped the ring over and on she went!
I think the piton stop in that kit is plastic...I've always used a piece of discarded fan belt off my TroyBilt. I'm definitely of the camp to use something soft....rope would be fine as well. And no, you wouldn't need a piston stop to install a piston. I think it's in there to help break down the clutch & flywheel if so desired.
Common mistake....have to look closely at those stop pins where the ring ends go.

Hi again Robin,
Any chance that you might have a bar plate for a 520,525,535 I'm missing the outer one and the crankshaft is hitting the clutch cover. Got the new piston in and recoil spring replaced just need to clean and refresh the carb and find a bar and chain before flipping.
Well........I'd like to say I don't have any parts for those saws......but they are the same as 49sp/52 series....so I probably do...........You know I hate to be an enabler on the 5XX saws......but WTH..... it's the holidays...and you are gonna flip it right??? ......PM me with an address and I'll get one out to you...LOL!!!
Put it down as Holiday goodwill, Robin...lol! Like you said after all, he is gonna flip it. And maybe the new owner will come in here and you can hate the saw all over again....hehe!

Paid $150 which didn't seem to bad for this time of the year and some of the prices I've seen on eBay.
Only 168 more 49SP's and you'll catch up with Robin! Looks nice too.

Heh . . . . yup, one more notch in my repair workbench.
Probably be easier if I just offered to buy out Robins stash.
