SUBSCRIBER UNBOXING!! CAN I MAKE THE P42 PISTON FIT?

[@fixinanddoinstuff2134]

Thanks Bill for the gift to Tinman! I used a LRB piston on a stihl my step dad straight gassed. Worked great til the 5 gallon can of premixed ran out.

[@martyrutter3630]

Bill what great gifts for the channel, may good blessings be returned your way. 👍👍👍👍

[@thebradleysoncatbirdhill6849]

Thank you, Bill!!! Your gift benefits all of us!👍

[@wrstew1272]

If you had access to a mill, it would be a simple process to square the shoulders of the piston to make it perfect. Otherwise, you got it. Perfect sometimes is the enemy of getting it done 😅

[@julianbenzaia6325]

Little Red Barn pistons may not be OEM quality, but they are certainly adequate. Think of them as a Harbor Freight piston. The price is right but sometimes they require a little bit of fiddling with. I have bought several Red Barn pistons myself, and have not had one fail. I did run into the same problem with the P41 Piston where it was too narrow. I called Lee over at Little Red Barn, and he was already aware of it. The Pistons he is selling currently have already been counter measured.

Very interesting build! Thx Bill for the help!

[@hannahquarles8355]

Incredible video! Bill, you’re a hero!

[@hordboy]

Had the same issue with a LRB in an Echo. Had to deburr. On another one, they were selling the piston to fit a range of years but didn’t know Echo had switched from a big end located rod, to small end.

[@snowysnobdds7842]

Damn Bill, you came through. Those are incredible treasures.

[@WARLOK813]

Good stuff. Still wanna see you do a cheapo harry homeowner build on something super common and easy to get. Maybe an off the shelf box store unit.

[@matthewknight5641]

Ive bought a couple lrb pistons. Both were heavy and needed a lot of clean up but they are both still working. Its kinda like they make them super thick on the skirts and not sure why but yeah they worked for me

[@aaronpowell4885]

Awesome care package from Bill! I've no personal experience with LRB pistons, have heard both sides. Will be a good test👍🏻

[@tdawg8605]

Nice save on the piston, timing numbers will be interesting. TC Mahalo Tinman 🤙🤙🤙

[@tinmanssaws]

Well do that in the next video.

[@mattw5729]

Great video, thank you Sir.

[@donutkiller1637]

The lil red barn piston is going to be an interesting project

[@tinmanssaws]

It will either work or blow up right away lol

[@Chainmale]

I recently got a LRB piston for a little 015 and that needed to be dremmeled out for conrod to fir width wise

[@alltherpm]

Im getting ready to fire up my xl12 fully restored, ported, case matched to cylinder too, cleaned up the inside of crankcase, and a pioneer 1200a piston, taller pop up then factory homelite piston

[@rise_above]

Had to mod a little red barn piston for a Husqvarna 254, was too long in the piston skirt and had no chamfer.

[@paulgreco2188]

Tinman!!! Billy rocks!!

[@tomintexas817]

thanks Bill😊

[@Ketis1985]

I used few LRB pistons with decent luck. Also if its 2 ring piston i would use 2 rings on it. Using 1 ring on 2 ring piston you will free port tru ring land....

[@tinmanssaws]

It's rare I use 2 rings on any saw.

[@Ketis1985]

@tinmanssaws i also like 1 ring pistons. Im just saying that if its 2 ring piston then i want to use both rings so i dont free port the engine tru the ring groove.

[@leetowsley4510]

I just did a husky 460 and used a little red barn piston went right on no issues weird

[@matthewknight5641]

All the highwy and meteor pistons ive seen and used were way better looking than the lrb pistons but ive never had a piston actually fail.. worn out but never like blow up or anything

[@SepticWhelk]

I do not claim any super powers or great skill but i have been running saws for 45 years and never had an engine fail ! how do folks destroy pistons and barrels so frequently ? my oldest is a 1978 green Poulan pre chain brake lol , the alloy frame and back handle has fallen to bits and it has gone to meet Mr junk yard but the motor was still running fine !

[@tinmanssaws]

My guess is because you run sharp chains....

[@markjefferson8788]

The same thing happened when I tried to put one in a pp405...

[@jakegorman7121]

Did you cut the end off the clips?

[@jritcey108]

I've had terrible experience with LRB and their products

[@kurtsteele5587]

How's the Tinman and family

[@jakegorman7121]

First off you said there's a bazillion of them out there that need a piston and then a few minutes later you said there's not very many of these saws around.... are you talking about the same saw?
