Description
Overview:
This 38 mm Cylinder and Piston set is a non-genuine replacement for Stihl MS180 and MS180C chainsaws, made to restore compression and smooth running after wear or damage. It replaces OEM reference 1130 020 1213 and is engineered for a precise fit in the specified models. The components are produced from durable aluminium alloy to keep weight low and support effective heat dissipation under continuous use. By renewing the top end of the engine, this set helps recover starting performance, power output, and cutting efficiency. The 38 mm bore (approx. 1.50 in) matches the original sizing for straightforward installation and reliable sealing. Suitable for trades, grounds care, landscaping, and DIY maintenance, it offers a practical, cost-conscious solution for routine rebuilds.
