Piston for 046/MS460 54mm BBK
« on: December 31, 2014, 08:41:20 am »
Don't knowas much about Stihl's as I should.  What piston do you use for 046/MS460 54mm BBK?   066/MS660 is the only piston I could come up with.

What size is the 660? I know to put those in a stihl you use the bearing for the husky and the OD of the bearing is the same for both.

660 has a 54mm bore and a 12mm pin
We should share what we know... someone may learn...

The only other 54mm stihl piston I can think of is for an 045 or 056 super. But it has a 13mm pin.

I found a 54mmBBK piston @ Northwood Saw.  Still don't know if it's the same as 066/MS66.  http://northwoodsaw.com/store/index.php?pg=6&l=product_list&c=6

I would think the skirt will be shorter on the 460 BB since there's a little less stroke on the 460 than 660. The pin size doesn't matter as much as the OD of the bearing in the rod. The husky pistons have bigger pins but the bearing fits in the rod. All of those pistons have been swapped back and forth and a 660 piston will go into the jonsered 2083 also.
