Chainsaw Repair

As I mentioned in Al Smith's 015 thread, I'm rebuilding a 029S,.  Polishing the turd I call it.
I received this saw from my Uncle, no muffler and the piston scored, alum. smeared over the rings.
Had some compression and a good spark and the saw looked in good condition over all.
I had a coupon from Bailey's and a new engine would cost about $120.
I did a quick guestimate, for less than $150-$175, I could have a fresh 039.
What a turd this saw turned out to be.
First thing, I broke my piston stop while removing the clutch. it came with my 015.
Then I broke the T27 torx tool in the last mounting bolt. It broke off even with the bolt head, no problem.
I'll knock it lose with a punch, no way, I'll drill a hole and put a SM screw in it and yank it out. that T27 tip was too hard to drill.
The rear bar bolt was frozen in also, double nut didn't work, vice grips either, locked in the bench vice, no way.
A 3/8" drill bit and a cape chisel split the housing enough to free the stuck bolts and remove the engine.
The cost is mounting and I still have to clean the case. Wonder what I'll find after its clean.
So far, I'll need a Decomp plug, fuel and impulse lines, bar nuts and rear stud, muffler and a carb rebuild kit.
This cheap rebuild  ain't getting any cheaper.
An as the polishing the turd saga continues, stay tuned for updates.

To the OP, you will need a T27 torx wrench plus some common tools.
