A thing you must know when disassembling and assembling the MS170 MS180 crankcase

[@hosocat1410]

No engineer in his right mind would design a fragile element such as that in a chainsaw. It is designed to break. This is typical of stihls, and my biggest gripe with them. Brake that little tiny piece and you might as well throw the saw in the trash.

Yes, I couldn't agree with you more on your point. Nowadays, many engineers design some components with a businessman's mindset, turning many originally durable parts into consumables. This even applies to some parts in cars. Fortunately, more and more users are noticing this issue. At least, if manufacturers don't address these user feedback in the short term to improve their products, we can find other ways to avoid these problems. I believe that if Stihl doesn't take action, there will be other aftermarket manufacturers trying to improve this issue because user feedback and opinions are indeed real and crucial.
