Im putting a hyway 52mm cylinders kit with pop up piston on my Stihl 461.
I lost one of the retainer clips for the piston pin.( It went flying)
Can I use any clip that fits? Or does it have to be the kind and size of the one I lost. Auto zone has a big selection. Would a snap ring work ?

I would get the exact same circlip to match. Just me. I've seen a few give out that weren't exactly the same, but were "close enough". I dunno who makes the "Hiway" brand but I'd try to find out and get the specs
