I took mine to help a neighbor. My role, drop the tree, they were going to clean it up with their little saws. I heat cycled it and it got its final tune today. My first chain sharpening went well too. This one has a big lope. I pray that that bad cylinder did not throw it out of wack. I later buried the bar and it did great. But man does she wobble. That carb is so close to right at one full turn out it will throw you off. Don't have to move it much. I really happy with it.

Ok putting my engine together. I bought the stihl oem wrist pin, bearing, and clips. I went to assemble them and the wrist pin is perfect but the bearing fits the wrist pin and piston but to small for the con rod? So I mock up with the included bearing. The included farmer bearing is the same inside diameter but much larger outside. Where did I go wrong? Pic is of the supposed stihl oem ms 6660 bearing. It to thin and to wide. If I need a side by side with the farmer bearing I can get that.IMG_20180305_195118.jpg IMG_20180305_195227.jpg

There are two bearings, make sure you have the right one. I used oem bearings but ft wrist pin. Then again your connecting rod hole maybe out of spec, who knows, I've had a few parts not fit right.

That's not a oem bearing all the oem Stihl bearings that I've ever used are gold in color .......

Not out of spec these are clearly 2 very different bearings for sure
I will pop the cylinder off in a bit and get a side by side comparison picture.

The part numbers may not do you any good, might, but if it was in the wrong bin and a bad label/pick you just need to return it.

Could be wrong model piston bearing, could be clutch bearing of correct model.

You know it does not work and it should, sorry that happened to you

Aw it happens dont be sorry. I am starting to think its May be a clutch bearing. I am going to pull my 041 stihl and see if it will fit. It needs a new one anyway. Then today I will stop by the local stihl dealer and pick up a wrist bearing. Wonder what they cost own from the dealer?
