I've read this before and have no reason to doubt it. The crankshaft bearings in the 1127 series of saws (290/310/390) are the exact same crankshaft bearings Stihl uses in its really really big and powerful saws, like the 075/070 and 090 series of saws. I may be mistaken,but I doubt the bearings are any cause for concern. The picture of the OEM Stihl bearing has "Germany" printed on it. Here's a great picture of an OEM "290" bearing captured ofF Ebay moments ago. Any chance the saw you worked on had AM parts on it instead of OEM?
