Darn it, I forgot that you had a bunch of Stihl parts.I think I have the proper rotor that would of worked out for you.
How are you going to organize the sale of those parts ? Web site ? Ebay ?

I wish I had a heat gun, but that's pretty far down the wish list at the moment,
Sorry for the delayed response, I overlooked your question about the loctite.Did the kit recommend that you use loctite on the insert?

The kit didn't say anything about loctite, but I put some hi-temp thread locker on the insert. Muffler bolts have a tendency to rattle out, so I think this particular insert needed the thread locker.
The 084 project has been inactive for lack of a PTO side crank bearing. It's proprietary, and Stihl no longer carries it. However, rumor has it that the 088 crank bearing is a substitute. An AS member, Super3, has ordered one of the 088 bearings, and we'll see what it looks like when it shows up.
Also, the bar never showed up, and the seller kept changing his story and about if and when he mailed the bar, and then stopped talking to me altogether. I filed a mail fraud complaint with the USPS, since I paid with a postal money order. It can take up to 6 months to process a mail fraud complaint, plus, this case is not black and white, since I did receive the powerhead, just not the bar. But, the bar is a big deal, because milling bars are expensive, and the bar was advertised as being nearly new.
So....... hopefully the 088 bearing will fit. Then I'll have to scrounge up a bar and some milling chains. It may be mid-summer before the 084 begins to earn its keep.
That's pretty much what I was thinking.If ya can work something to move the peak torque just a tad lower without sacrificing too much on top, it might work better ....I expect with a little trigger time, you could keep it happily singing along at or above 7k
