MS200T and 020 Same piston/cyl ??

[Bark Buster]

Doe's the 020 and MS200T share the same style Jug and Piston. Reason I ask is I'm replacing seals on crankshaft and found the cylinder scored around the exhaust port, not bad up near the top by sparkplug, I've heard you dont hone these cylinders so I'm up against rebuilding. The saw would run great at top end but wouldnt idle. If I just replace crank seals and rings would the potential blowby ruin the new seals ??. The original seals were destroyed by sawdust entering thru a cracked cover from a broken chain, and continued to be run that way. Thanks for any help , P.S. anyone got parts for one of these they'd like to sell ??

Normally, I'd have an answer for you, but it's 4 AM here, and for some reason, the Adobe isn't loading on my computer right now, so here's the links for you to try yourself. I know the 020 and MS 200T share the same service manual. I think they share the same cylinder, but don't quote me.

And there's ALWAYS 020 parts saws on ebay.

020T and MS 200T and MS 200 all share the same pistons and heads. The regular 020 series is a completely different saw. If the head is scored I would change it, no sense going through the work and expense of rebuilding and do it half way. Contact Dean at washington hot saws, a sponsor on this site, he sometimes has some nice deals on pistons and heads for those saws. good luck.
