I have never considered rings as a service item, the customer is not going to pay the labour to have new rings put in on a service for no reason, fair enough if the machine requires them. If you fit rings you could well say well crank seals are serviceable they both are simple and easy to replace but its all extra labour. fair enough if you repair your own mind. but i go back to the old saying if it aint broke dont fix it

I would also remove the sprocket and check the needle bearing and clutch. make sure the worm drive for the oil pump is okay also

how are you levelling the bar? a file is good at removing burs ect but a shear grinder or similar is needed to make sure you get the bar level.

my advise for a new saw, allways 25-1 first tank to let in run in and leave it to tick over til warm and go steady with it. no other oil will do for these saws other than husqvarna XP fully synth. these machines were designed to run on this oil not any old muck. I see alot of lean seizures because of the wrong oil is used, even stihls red mineral oil is not good enough, and supermarket fuel is a killer. these machines should not be run on more than 10% ethanol, which supermarket fuel can have as much as 25% which is why its even more important to use the husqvarna oil.
