Can I get away with using Stihl circlips (9463-650-1000's) with aftermarket pistons in an 026 and 028? The ones that came in the aftermarket kit for the 026 would simply not fit into place without actually needing to be squeezed smaller with some degree of deformity to pop into the slot. I'm not exactly comfortable with that and can get new OEM clips, but noticed the old OEM clips seem to be just slightly thinner stock than the aftermarket ones which will probably be much easier to install -- if they'll stay in place under operational conditions given the difference in thickness of the clips in general.
Don't even want to wrestle with the 028 in the same manner if I can use the Stihl circlips there, too -- which are also listed as the 9463-650-1000's.
As usual, TIA for any input or advice.
