Anybody try using any of the aftermarket crankcases that are available to repair their stihl saws? And if so, how was the quality? Did the cases work ok?
Was thinking....wonder if the aftermarket cases are magnesium, or cast aluminum rather to save on manufacturing costs? I'm leaning towards cast aluminum....
Crank spins great! No problemsIt does appear to be quite an exact replica. How does the crank rotate in the aftermarket case? Just curious how in line their bearing bores are on center to each other etc. It does seem quite worth the $45 though, especially if just trying to resurrect one from the dead, using left over parts and a few aftermarket items.
If you don't mind saying, where can I get 1 for $45?Cheapest one I bought was $46.99.Just got the ms660 case in a week ago and I have to say it's identical as a stihl
Just waiting on the piston to come in but I have to say that I like it View attachment 494670View attachment 494671View attachment 494672The one on the right is a stihl and the left is the aftermarket. It looks great for
$45.00 it came with the bearings and seals but that my crank.
I just got another for $4 nine,nine nine. I saw someone got 1 for $35 and someone got a buy it now for #178.View attachment 495539
I got this one on an auction but I know If u buy 4 at a time u can get them for $45.00 a pop. But $46.99 - $45.00 is a great price
Ok lol old habits are hard to brakeThat's good. I just don't like seeing that orange RTV sealant on the aftermarket case halves. Lol
