thats called scoring....:hmm3grin2orange::msp_mellow:

Ahh yes that's what i used to call it. Then i lived in south Georgia for 6 years. Now it's "all galled up!"

It seams like a bit of play in the crank/rod bearing. Since i can't seem to get the piston off the rod i think ill take it in and have the shop hone the cylinder and check everything out.

Same thing I was thinking. Id start fresh, split the case check bearings, clean real good.

Here's the picture. I would think the wrist pin failed or overheating. Do you allow your saw to warm up before running it. By warm up I mean idle for a bit?

I couldn't imagine that cylinder would be any good by the looks of the piston. It is never a good idea to hone a cylinder it takes off the niklsil coating that is necessary. If the crank is good I would buy a new oem piston and cylinder.
