Very nice Brad, are those dogs factory?
Can I ask what they set you back?
Surprised they fit a 440, you can't even swap with a 460 w/o adjusting them!

They are dawgs off of a Stihl MS 661 R.
Thanks, but I knew that. Are they available in the AM, or just OEM?
They are OEM for now mike
A 440 and 660 share dawgs.
A 460 inner is the same as the above 2 but the outer is different.
Yea, I discovered that the hard way!
Ditto the 362, they bolt on, but they don't line up (inside & outside).
Ever try to make a hole in that case hardened crap?

No i havent , i just buy the correct dawgs for the saw.
Yea, I tried to save a few bucks, plus the AM site listed the same dogs for 440&460, so not entirely my fault. I got them all to work, but far more trouble than it was worth.
I think the dealer I got the 362 from wanted about twice what others were paying for them, and I just refused to pay it.
Your idea of buying the R model even if you don't want the R handle makes a lot of sense. Live & learn!

Is the 460 DP cover an OEM item or is it an aftermarket cover. Doesn't matter to me, just wondering. So we went with a new OEM cylinder for the Hybrid before it was ported. SuhWEET!

Would a new 461 cylinder work on a hybrid?
460 was the afterthought. Built after the 044 and 064/066 family.
Nope.
All of these parts are OEM.

Dang, that would be interesting
Yea, I thought of that also, but was told it would not work due to the quad transfer ports.
The front transfer intake ducts won't allow that.

Not possible at all or just not easily done?
The crankcase is entirely different.
