Stihl Wrenching
All the safety decals are available free from your dealer...
let's just say it's "precious":greenchainsaw:
O u know Gollum relate to that... how much?
soon.... I want savour it a little first before I mess it all up... and I do need to touch up the very few nicks in the gray paint.
I'm going to take it down to StihlNW next week so they can drool over it also.... Nothing like genuine Stihl drool to polish things up
Nice... the money is in the prep, and masking... $100? lololol
Custom paint? I'm thinking orange with black crinkle finish, and air-brushed flames...

Just to add to this thread that Wiseco (who make pistons) will do limited production runs on motorcycle pistons, someone on the thread mentioned that Stihl no longer sell the pistons for these saws so if theres enough people wanting a piston Wiseco could well be the people to ask.
Also, most bearing factors are able to supply crank bearings and so on for engines, just take the old ones in and they read the bearing codes off them are can often offer replacements that are of a better spec than OE.
They can sometimes get hold of crank seals as well.
Other than that, good thread.
Scott.
Ha, I assume you have never worked on a chainsaw. A wiseco piston is gonna cost over 150 bucks and you have to buy a batch of them. No need for a new top end if the current one is not scored.
Bearings, as Lake said can be special and only available from the manufacturer. Again, not needed if tight.
I have seen quite a bit of ignitions on ebay lately, but haven't check in the last month or so. They are out there, just be ready to spend a little dough.
Oh by the way, a 12 pack for an 056 is a killer deal even without spark.
Reading bearing codes and matching only works if they are a standard sizes and have no custom features... many saw bearings are not available except via the OEM. There are many threads on this topic.
