lucky score..Stihl 084

[VinceGU05]

I definitely have a crack, and a real smelly one at that. I'll have to check on the crank though.

Have you found a CRANK yet Jacob ?![emoji12]

I have had 5 084's suck the base gasket in but only ever on the clutch side i think it may be a common issue...

wow that's weird. would say one of the faces arn't flat or not torqued down enough. or very blocked air filters therefore creating a higher than normal vacuum on the crankcase.? maybe gasket goo on both sides of the gasket may hold them better.?

Just pitch the gasket in the trash can lol

would you still run some sorta gasket goo there?

 

[Nate66n1]

Oh yea, definitely use a good sealant. Should be plenty of threads on here about cylinder sealer.

I use 3-Bond to seal the jugs . You can use Honda Bond , Yama Bond and others like that . I never use a gasket unless the squish is to tight . Never had one fail , been a lot of them now ! LOL I also always let it set over night or longer just to be sure .

 

[VinceGU05]

ok.. will look into what i can get locally.. i have been just winging it with nuffin.. well at least running a stone or a file to make sure there is flatness first.

 

[VinceGU05]

Dodgy bros Saw repairs Inc at it again. Welded up cracked crank and threw a piston in the old jug to run it up to make sure ignition and oiler worked.

 

[VinceGU05]

Now just sit tight for new P&C and crank to turn up and a heap of little bits and let the real rebuild begin [emoji16][emoji16]

not the prettiest thing getting around, but it will work well. the front panel is 1/8" stainless steel.

McVince, have you given the end of the crank a tap with a soft hammer to relieve it?

 

[VinceGU05]

Nope. Any end ?
