Thanks Cut4Fun, this is a huge help. Looks like the parts are majorly backordered, but I'm gonna try to get everything set up for when they arrive.

Got an 084 in that was locked up. Pulled the front muffler cover found piston pieces and ring pieces. Only on the exhaust side. Trying to figure out what happen no seize marks. Bottom end bearings are good. A little play in the big end bearing but have seen worse.  The cylinder looks good and salvageable. No deep score marks. Could it be from over speed? Or just a faulty piston. Guy said it was rebuild not that long ago. And yes the piston was installed correctly.

Also noticed the coil is rubbing the flywheel. Read somewhere that you can gain some timing will a close coil gap. Kind of stumped.

Going to go with the saw was running lean and over revved the motor. The extra heat made the rings stick. And the rings caught the bottom of the exhaust port and caused the piston failure. The plug color looks to be ok based on the color chart I looked at. Reddish brown to light grey. There is a chip in the cylinder at the bottom of the exhaust port. The beveled edge is gone. What do you guys think clean up the bottom of the exhaust port and rebevel or is it junk?

Put a bevel on it and smooth it out best you can.

Was the piston a OEM or the cheap aftermarket ones out there for $25.  I had always wondered about the afm ones for the 084 088 etc.

Show me a pic of ring area to top crown and I can tell if oem or not.
