Just turbo housing or has it dropped shaft and dragged broken bits of turbine through?!

Shouldnt be any noticeable up/down movement on your big end bearing regards your crank. If you have a noticeable amount then its obviously took a “load” through the crank as a result of the piston nipping up, in turn dont forget this load will also have been transferred across/through the crank and in to the crankcase bearings. Hence the suggestion of replacing them both. Huztl.....? They are what they are. If its your go to everyday, heavy use, pro saw, then i’d recommend better, hence meteor. If its just a hobby saw to you, then fair enough i guess. Thats only my opinion of course. Its all tinkering with a good sense of achievement at the end of it whichever route ya go down [emoji106]

Oooohh ? your at it again! -
Depends what you want to spend? Age of saw and rest of condition etc will be another factor. Pictures are not too clear, is crank ok? If cylinder isn’t salvageable then i’d say you have only two options providing crank is ok. 1st is bin it and use whats left for a doner scenario. 2nd is rebuild it with a meteor pot & piston. Personally i’d go option 2, but id also go right through it, new crank seals, crank bearings, little end. If cranks shot then that could also be a decider on your decision. New genuine will be expensive, aftermarket will be cheaper but the life expectancy compared to OEM will probably be less.

If you have the part OEM numbers to hand, then punch em in to google and you’ll find something, L&S are very good though as Jwgm above mentioned.

The Mrs went for a job at British Aerospace Engineering (Samlesbury) when she first moved over. She had an in depth check done because it was part of the “aeronautical” sector and carried classified info etc. [emoji849][emoji849] So the fact you would be working directly within “British airspace” makes me think that it will probably be a thorough check, but ya never know! Just be honest Yolky, no one can ever knock ya for that!!! As same as a lot of things in life, what will be will be, and nothing ventured nothing gained. [emoji106]

You wanna wear a thimble for that!

I cut a beech up a couple years back, it had been felled as part of what i would imagine, an investigation involving some planning development that was to occur approximately 20ft away from where it was stood. It was non existent below ground level about 3ft easy i would of said, and nearly 5ft up centre of trunk that was on floor. It bloody stank when we started ringing/cutting it up!!! [emoji40]?? Made decent firewood what was left.
-
Was it from the root / ground level up Steve, or did it start part way up? Picture is a little deceiving, but you can quite clearly see the hollow.
-
Ah bless... you been buying in again [emoji6]??
-
Total novice here..... what about “oiling” it somehow? Protection and moisture in one, so it can dry out slowly and as naturally as possible. Hell of an interesting piece, where have you come across that?
-
I drove past it in car originally and the mrs said “ah, look a dragon” i said yeah right whatever! I nearly didnt spot it at first glance because it was all weathered. Made me chuckle though cos you can see the guys leg hanging out the mouth ?? Your dragon looks trick [emoji106] size etc compliments it well. Wish i had the artists touch with a chainsaw!
-
I ran an 18” bar on it originally, but just felt it was slightly too much for it when i was ringing up a wedge of beech, hence the drop to a 16” bar and it seems a lot better / happier.
-
Ahh yes!!! Spot on that man! [emoji6]?
-
No, its a 7t, does fine for me, but i’m not a pro user.
-
I run .325 on my 026 with a 16” bar and its merry all day long.

Good point. I still dont get why you have “restriction” codes and i dont? Would av thought you’d be better off as you’d been driving longer. Grandfather rights and all that [emoji6][emoji23]
