Chainsaw Repair

Not only does the HVA case splitter work, so does the flywheel side crank installation tool work to get the flywheel off without damage to the crank threads and the 288 seal sleeve will also work on the step in the clutch side seal installation as Nate mentioned!

Should have all the parts from Nate in a few days to begin reassembly.

Also found the reason the saw blew up. Looks like an air leak on the clutch side that caused the ring to stick in the piston groove just to the right of the exhaust port, then the ring caught in the ports on the flywheel side and broke parts out both above and below the ring groove. Unbelievably the ring remained in one piece!

I will put up some pics tomorrow, right now it is beer-thirty!

Thanks for everyone's help!
