Thank you so much for your help. I'm a rookie with Stihl, got bronze working on silver. So much to learn, this video helped tremendously. It was explained perfectly. Thank you

Excellent info brother. I’ve been preaching for years to anyone running 2 strokes about the importance of letting these engines warm up to avoid excessive p/c wear and cold seizures. Keep up with the informative videos.

Ur a natural Gordy. Love the content. The more you do the easier it gets

Thank you Richard I am trying buddy 😁👍

Great video Gordy 👏

I would definitely be keen to see a when it's time to change them out series, air filters, bars/chains, AV mounts. Other stuff that just wears out with use

Break in is crucial in a saw , I live on the northeast and we deal with cold weather and it's a good thing to let your saw warm up

This is pure GOLD info. Your right nobody ever talks about how to tell a worn piston before it explodes and costs you a cylinder too. Thanks dude this one of the best videos out of the 100's I have watched. YES please keep it coming.

My order of operations is to start the saw first, let it warm up as I put my PPE on, then give it another minute or two before using it

Great Job Gordy some real gold right here keep up the great work man!!!! Tube salad coming in clutch with the stand hopefully no agents show up to his house over it lol.

Great Video Gordy!! Sharing your experience and knowledge with your ‘Followers’ is a great help to those of us trying to learn from other peoples’ experiences. It’s also very helpful to learn best method practices (warm up / cool down) in order to prevent premature expensive repairs and/or catastrophic damages.

Great video, really enjoy watching. Thanks for sharing

Thanks for taking the time to share this, very informative. More videos on saw maintenance and saw modifications would be greatly appreciated

Thank you for this video gave me a lot of knowledge cuz I'm trying to learn

Great video!

Very good video. Great information. Thanks!

This is a great video. Love looking at this stuff. This is like a coroner going over a body. Great video!

Excellent tutorial! My first of ALL your videos I'll be watching! Thanks

More great information, thanks, Gordy.

Great video for anyone new to running chainsaws.

Awesome video keep them coming! Waiting on the carburetor tuning video

Great video. Excellent information and easy to understand. Thanks!

Very informative great video

Great video Gordy. These kind of technical videos and how to videos are awesome content. Thankyou.

great tip on letting the chainsaw warm up. I didn't know about the pins in the piston rings. I never heard that before. Great knowledge for equipment care.

Awesome content. Thank for sharing your knowledge, we appreciate it.

Dude I getting to log in my buffer strip area down here in Glendale Oregon I’m glad I caught onto your channel. Good educational video for a guy like me tryna do things myself

Thank you for making this video Gordy. So much information to digest. Excellent explanation on machining marks on pistons. 😲😲

Great video dude. Love the shop talk stuff

Awesome imformative video Gordy glad to watch it!

Thanks for the information gordy

Great stuff. Great personality as well. Thanks for responding to my emails👍🏼

Great content. Keep it up, thanks!

Great video really like the info great explanations

Really interesting content. Thnx for taking time for the explanation and tutorial. Best wishes.

Thank you sir well done.

excellent video

some of the best explnation of pistons and how to not score it ! Love it man keep it comin. I just started my own channel few weeks back

Great info Gordy. I have my stock 461 that wears some WCS upgrades and the mods not only make the say run better it looks awesome too! I would like to see more on the 461 in the future as this piston tutorial was really helpful. I don’t think you ever have to worry about your KZread equality, it always good.

Spot on info. I like tech vids like this a lot . Thank you sir

Excellent discussion Gordy, keep them coming.

Nice job explaining pistons and jugs I appreciate it .and you do definitely know you saws ty. Corey. Goodrich. Ma.

Great video Gordy I used to work on saws for friends and would find a lot of the same thing you talked about

Good video! Thanks!

Good info to have about seizures and cylinders. And looking into the exhaust port is DEFINITELY the easiest thing to start with because that’s what I do. From 2-6 bolts and there you are. Having a good light source is often the hardest thing to have “handy”, but experience is a great teacher with life 😊

You can get a little coast hx5 for like 9 dollars and it is the perfect pocket light. Small, light, bright, and good runtime. Any man (or woman for that matter) not carrying a knife and a torch in 2022 needs to treat themselves to the 10 dollar upgrade!!! im so used to using one now that if im still within a couple minutes of the house i'll turn around to go back and get it. Id rather leave my house without pants than without knife, flashlight, and coffee.

Hey Gordy Greetings from Australia 🇦🇺 and thanks for a real informative video. Cheers brp

Hi Gordy Excellent information you are sharing and very well spoken. Love all your WCS products they certainly make a big improvement on all my Stihl saws especially on 500i keep up good 👍 work and stay safe.

Great video Gordy, thanks for sharing your knowledge. Time to tear apart a few saws. 🤔

very helpful, thank you

Some dam good info right there, from an old worn out MX guy your explanations are spot on. That over heated piston also looked like a 4 corner seize starting but powered though...and screwed the whole thing lol enjoyed.

Good information

That's the way to do it young fella. Not real long, to the point & some real good info. I'm an old man from Northern MI. Heat w /wood and running some old saws. Probably will be doing some investigating with the old 288xp, 365 special etc. Really good info about the cross hatching etc. Keep at it. Thanks.

Great vids

Great vid

Like the content videos from you.

I dig these kinda vids.

Fantastic video mate 👍

awsome tips!

Good info, thanks. I've learned a lot from Donny too.

Damn that’s a clean, organized shop!

Awesome video Gordy!! I appreciate the information and knowledge that you shared. Extremely beneficial to those of us newer to the saw game. Keep up the content even if it doesn't turn out as great as you think it should.

Great information

Nice. Thanks.

Nothing like a good dog!

Great job on video👍

Cold seizure is a good one to bring up, not talked about often and definitely something to think about with the 661 and 461.

👍Excellent video!

Super info!

Thanks, really liked the video you did with Jacob’s saw where you changed piston.Doesn’t look like a hard job.

At 3:07 - looks like the piston of the F7. Had an air leak, rode home on the freeway. Lost power bad when I got off the freeway, then quit. No compression *at all.*

Good info, thanks…

Brilliant👍 thank you 🙏

Nice job Gordy

Very educational, i would b interested in more videos like this. I have 2 461’s and get my 046 back from my uncle. Very low mileage. Should have not let it go

Great video sharing

Thanks Gordy, Great video! Not letting a saw warm up properly and cool down is a common issue I see folks do. Another thing to keep in mind especially with aftermarket pistons is to measure them and make sure they measure the proper tolerance for your cylinder before installing, nothing worse than replacing a piston only to find out it was too loose or tight and fails. Also check your ring gap and chamfer the edges of the piston. I can attest to the fact that with proper maintenance, good gas and oil, proper tuning, and replacing the piston and rings before failure one can get many years out of a oem cylinder. I own several with 25+ years on the original cylinders production logging. One thing I don't hear folks talk about that I have personally experienced is having debris get into the muffler of a saw then end up in the cylinder. It has made me reconsider removing the muffler screens. One was a ms361 that had gotten a piece of wood in the muffler when I pulled the saw over it seezed when I removed the muffler to check it out I was surprised to see the wood jammed between the exhaust port and piston, damaging the piston. The other was a ms461 that was in the back of a friend's pickup loaded with firewood that got rain water in it and was left to sit for a while when it was started later the crank bearings failed. I am getting ready to rebuild and port that saw now, so I would be interested in your take on a ms461 build. Something to be mindful of with mufflers and saws in pickup beds.

Good video on piston wear.

Thats very interesting. Your cold siesure is common over here in Wisconsin. Especially during cold winter operations.

Nice. Your Failure Mode Analysis ; spot-on. Thanks. BTW, Subscribed. - N Idaho -
