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.

Customer Questions
I have just purchased this piston and barrel for an 044, it's turned up no problem at all however the barrel has an extra threaded hole in the top (obviously for a decompression button). Is there a plug that can be screwed into the hole or would it be a case of just adding a decompression button?
I have had a look for you and there is a cover and a plug, please see the following links: https://www.lsengineers.co.uk/catalog/product/view/id/11720, https://www.lsengineers.co.uk/catalog/product/view/id/10564
What parts are included?
I can confirm that it comes with the following: Piston Ø 50 mm, Piston ring Ø 50x1.2 mmm Piston pin 12x8x35, Snap ring 12x1, Plug.
