    I pulled my head out of my rear. Sorry Man, I was confusing these with the 024/024s and 026. Sorry.

    Haha. You may need:
    Muffler spacer (I have a few a guy made on ope... one is yours to try if needed)
    036 muffler (if fit is way off)
    To modify the cylinder cover (cut a rib out so it fits)
    Decomp plug (Huztl)
    Older 034 fuel line or new style if tank allows

    Same cylinder gasket btw. My last 036 build I used a Coors Light can and dirko. Came in close to .020 squish after that. You could probably delete the gasket depending on your measurements.
    I ordered a stack of cylinder gaskets from Huztl. I want to try them as theyre that black gasket material that's around these days. I'd use a sealant on them as insurance. One is yours to try if needed. Unless you go OEM gasket kit I also have extra AM seals for ya.

    Yep. Perfect for that saw.

    Dirko is messy tho as you probably know.

    Yep. Stihl uses it in clamshells. I like it a lot. I use loctite 518 on case gaskets and seals.

    No, that's ok. I got most of the tools I need and such, I can order some sealant. I still gotta order some caber rings for the 034 and the 041, as well as the P/C for the 034.

    But I really appreciate the offer man!

    064 seals--- the pto is the standard 064/066/660 size. The flywheel is 064 or possibly 046. The oem seals are still available but dont buy the 660 AM kit as they usually don't provide both sizes of flywheel seals.
    064 bearings-- still available. Ive put AM bearings in an 064 that were listed as 660. Id go oem if I were you, tho. I just wanted to try 'em.

    BLASPHEMY! The MS200T is the most perfect top handled arborist saw that the world has ever known and no other saw will ever equal it. Who cares if it cost $1,000 for a straight gassed, burnt out wreck. YOU NEED to buy it.

    O.K. Reality check. The MS200T is a GREAT saw. If you can get a good one for a decent price, you can't do better. HOWEVER, I totally agree with you that the Echo CS355T is a VERY CLOSE SECOND and is WAY LESS EXPENSIVE and a great value. I'd be very happy to own either one.

    Replying to myself feels dirty, but I like it:
    The flywheel seal size is indeed 13.5x20x4 which is the same as the 046/460.

    I'm a diehard Stihl guy, and it literally took running an echo in a tree for a day to convince me I needed to buy one.

    I just found one that's a year old and like brand new on FB the other day, offered the guy 200 bucks and he said ok. So it looks like I just got my second!!
