I don't know how much compression difference .004 would make. I would lean towards .021. Maybe some one with more knowledge than me will chime in.

The 064 and maybe the very early 066 had a narrower bolt pattern. I know the 064 used 5mm bolts also. Are the holes smaller in that one gasket?
I would run the .021. All my old kits were .023 and run strong.
Now if it was a 440/460 I would use the .017 squish.

Probably one of best uses I ever did with the guide pins is when I was alone and trying to re-install a 3 point lift back on the rear diff of my tractor I had one shot to drop that thing down on the gasket without messing it up, the 3 point was over 100 pounds and those guide pins made it painless.. except for my back
Great thing is they cost next to nothing to make.
.035 with no gasket... wow that sure is a wide range they are making these things at. Mine hit the chamber on the top, your is a mile away.

Sounds like the crank seal on the 066 was different as well hence the 3rd sealThe 064 and maybe the very early 066 had a narrower bolt pattern. I know the 064 used 5mm bolts also.

I went looking for the bolt size I am going to mention below and saw this. First time I noticed it, and we have been complaining and it turns out Stihl thinks its a good idea.
to have some low cost case guides the manual suggests 5mx72m t27 screws. i have 3 and they come in handy

Why not cut the heads of and taper them a little to turn them into pins?
Could Why not?

Anybody using a Stihl lite bar. I want a 32" and I think the light bar would be a great choice. Can't find one in stock where I can touch it. Twice the cost.
I read they are Ridgid. I want a better balanced bar. The longer the bars the more the saw tips at rest. My 440 would really benefit although from a shorter bar. I think it looks cool too

I was keeping this kit as parts for the 3 saw I gave to different people, but I’m thinking I may build it.
I’ll list the oem parts I use and I want to try and keep up with its cost.
And the brake spring was correct, I was surprised. Are the bags still labeled in the current kits?
This Kits going to be called “Dusty” and I’m going to stamp it in the serial # slot.

Brake band is even right, I recall HL corrected the kits and that's why it's got the right spring, plus labeled the bags. Cool

I'd just be happy if the 2 bars I paid for with the Hutzl kit showed up. I ordered the 28 inch for the build and a 16 inch for my 023. I keep getting the same tracking number of the parts that did show up and asked how a 28 inch bar fits in a 21 inch box
I take it my farmertec kit brake is high probability of being wrong?
A tracking can have multiple packages, I think. Write them. I have the 28 and I like it. The tree I am looking @ is a little bigger. I don't want to cut from both sides. It will come wrapped like a mummy

Look at the pin. If the pin is there you are good most likely

I checked the squish on Dusty and its .0235 with a farmer gasket.
I check it in 6 different spots on the piston and they were all within a thousand so I feel the base and squish are pretty flat.

What brand cylinder are you using?I checked the squish on Dusty and its .0235 with a farmer gasket.

The kit cylinder that came with it from HL
Just setting the stage. That kit is about a year old. The reason that matters is those of us that track them that was produced before we started having larger problems and may have gone though some type quailty control which we know does not exist when ordering from huztl.
That cylinder sounds like a runner. Cool.

When you say larger problems what exactly are you referring to? I recently ordered one of these kits. Obviously I don’t expect it to be OEM quality, I’m mainly after the experience of building from the ground up.

welcome, Great you will learn a lot. Have you been reading? The kits suffer from a lack of quality control. Generally it has changed over time from one thing to the next. You just make a decision on how to over come what you run up on
That comment was referencing his cylinder that had good geometry to the average recent one that do not. When we started out you had to sand the roughness away and deal with large squish, which is ok. To give you a overall sense.
If you measure yours and report it we will have more up to date info. If you don't have the tools don't sweat it
