Make sure you correct the original reason the saw failed in the first place otherwise it will fail again!

Good quality, good port timing etc. Certainly worth it if your oe cylinder isn't salvageable.

I know the reason! striaght fuel but i would like to go trough new bearings and seals fuel lines its a tidy saw really it isnt seized just got no compression! it still almost full for unmixed fuel!

Another tip is to buy stihl piston rings, some others (after market) can be a bit crap although I have never had any trouble with tesgol's stuff

i work for a stihl dealer so can get bits slightly cheaper but a oem pot would write the saw off!

You will prob get away with a new piston and rings and save the cylinder. Ive done numerous 026/ms260's and they just tend to smear/and pinch the piston ring trapping it with barely any transfer normally. I wouldn't order it til you've got it apart and know te cylinders u/s.
