Dude- that's my Pin EXACTLY! Same colors, same bags, same trim.2006?

[@Ketis1985]

I believe that those Lil red barn pistons are made by VEC in india. I have built couple saws with those since there is not other options and one of them have already over 300 tanks of gas through it after rebuild during thinning logging.

That's impressive!

When a piston is scoured, it tightens up on the wrist pin.

Ah yes, the ping of that circlip brings back such memories. As far as the wrist pin, they do just seem to have a way they would rather not go sometimes.

[@timothybyrom5560]

I worked in a saw shop for years.

[@timothybyrom5560]

A few heat cycles, and that piston will be fine.

[@Sensei948]

friend, measure the compressions after repair and see how much it will increase after a few tanks

[@timothybyrom5560]

I've got four little turd bucket buddies that have marked everything I own. Aggravating, but they are your friends no matter what.

[@rchighfield1]

I could tell your buddy is scared shitless of you after you telling him to get out and he calmly walks towards you! Yep he knows who’s boss!

[@novicelumberjack]

True! He's kinda hard headed. My favorite dog of all time though.

So how did it hold up?

Sedona over Stone Beige. That's the colors.
