MS230 Rebuild

[Caravan Monster]

Rebuilding a MS230 - it needs new rings, but I've stripped it right down because it never ran perfectly from new. The Stihl dealership I bought it from could never set it up properly either. The tickover would get erratic and stall after twenty minutes work from cold. Can't see anything glaringly obvious, so I'll get it back together and work from there. Replacing main seals, rings, gaskets and carb kit. It feels fine, but should I replace the little end bearing whilst I'm at it? Anything else I should do whilst it's in bits?

 

Anyone know the ring gap and torque settings for the engine bolts for the MS230 ? Or even better, a link to download a service manual ?
