The bore and piston are slightly scored. Is there any chance of reboring the bore to accomodate a larger piston? The piston is currently 48mm. Are pistons interchangeable between Stihl saws (ie. diff between 036 & 038 piston is 2mm? Lastly, if I have to buy an aftermarket rebuild kit (piston and bore together), do I have to buy the one for the 036? My point is to upgrade slightly since I will have to spend the money on repair and parts anyways. I could easily replace the damaged parts with the exact specs, but if I could modify the saw slightly with a few more dollars...

The damage was caused by a loose connecting rod (bad connecting rod bearing). I need a crankshaft assembly as well.

Chainsaw cylinders are plated aluminum and can't be bored or honed. You can get by with a certain amount of damage or buy a cheap rebuild kit, but the need for a crankshaft pretty much does the project in. Look for a parts saw on eBay. Other than that, it isn't worth fixing.

With all the damage you have listed, it might be more economical to buy a new saw. If you have lost the con rod bearings, the mains might be gone also. In that case, you had better check the bores in the block that the mains ride on. They can get oversized, and suck air/dirt in to the engine, and you will be right back in the same spot again. Mains, crank, rod, jug and piston,and gaskets ,seals, plus labor =2/3 the price of a new saw. JMHO

The only way this is feasible is to find a crunched 036 to get the parts from. The cost of the parts new will be very close to the new saw. It comes down to how much it is worth to you.I would check out a new unit, as the old one has did it's job.

I have a Stihl 044 that's a couple of years old. I haven't used it much at all, and it's a real monster with just a 20 inch bar on it. Are there any tips or tricks to making them run real well. It already runs great, so I don't want to do anything that would screw it up or anything like that. I was just curious if there are any tricks that the pros use. I also have an 021 that only has an afternoon's cutting on it, so it isn't even broken in yet.
