Description
Overview:
This non-genuine Cylinder & Piston assembly is a direct-fit top-end replacement for Stihl chainsaws, engineered for the MS440 and 044. It features a 50 mm (1.97 inches) cylinder bore and a 12 mm (0.47 inches) gudgeon pin to match original sizing, helping restore lost compression and power. The cylinder is NikasilTM-plated for hard, low-friction wear surfaces, supporting reliable operation under heavy use. Designed for petrol two‐stroke chainsaw engines, it helps resolve scoring, low compression, and starting issues caused by a worn top end. Built for consistent fit and performance, this assembly provides a practical, cost-effective alternative to OEM parts while maintaining dependable running when installed and set up correctly. Suitable for regular maintenance or full rebuilds on compatible models.
