the scratch may have deformed the piston into pinching the rings
This is my impression of what he meant, not sure.

Don’t go back to that dealer
Well there’s a new oem piston kit on eBay right now for $90 with free shipping. What did you pay?Too much?
California is higher on everything, where are you?
I dove further for that dealer, the closer one charges more. When I bought the handle and bar, this one charged 21 less for the handle, 15 less for the bar. I didn’t compare these recent parts. The closer one has screwed me around on orders before, and I don’t buy from them if they have to order anymore.

probably spent about 50 bucks more than you should have.

Listen man, it’s all good. It is what it is. It sounds like your not in a rush where you had to have it that day, could have gotten everything online with no tax and no shipping cost. No need for oem exhaust gaskets either. It’s spilled milk, and no my numbers are not off. Again, good luck with the repair, I look forward to the update of it running.Also with your numbers there’s only $25 for 3 gaskets, bearing, and tax. Not likely to happen.

Special tool as in himself? No special tool needed for a circlip.The guy at the shop ran a ball hone in the cylinder yesterday, looks good. He’s gonna install the piston for me, he says the clip takes a special tool.

What did they charge to do this? Most guys just use a small flat head screwdriver to remove and install a circlip. Good luck with your saw though, you got one worth fixing.He says Stihl makes that special tool in 5-6 different sizes.
