Thank you for your reassuring advice !View attachment 521304 You will do just fine, take your time.... I actually used the piston that was in my saw to... It also had the same mark...I just sanded both out and moved the piston by hand to make sure nothing was hitting... All went well, yours will too.... Keep us posted how it turns out, you will learn something either way!!!!
Ps--- now that I have learned more since my first rebuild, I would have put a meteor piston with caber rings in..... The saw is fine and runs great so I am not changing nothing right now.....
I have the yellow rope also, use it on saws where muffler is hard to get to like the 031 Stihl and the like.No definitely don't use a screw driver lol..... I use a yellow piece of rope and it works great.....I think people that people who fry their Pistons try to fix their saws on their own, and just make it worse... That's what happened with the ms362 I have....
Ok I will did soYou have to use youtube or photobucket for video.
Hey that is awesome you stuck with it and got it running strong...I tell ya I was pretty damn excited when I got my ms362 going....Ok guys well I finally got around to fixing this cylinder!!
I treated it to a new piston and ring, decarboned the cylinder completely, cleaned up all factory casting defects, reduced squish to 0.020" and muffler modded it
It's now a little screamer
I'll post a video of it running
Unfortunatly I only had an average semi chisel chain at hand
