Description
Overview:
The Cylinder & Piston 48mm for Stihl MS360 036 is a non-genuine replacement assembly for restoring engine compression and cutting performance on popular Stihl professional chainsaws. The cylinder is aluminium with a NikasilTM liner for high wear resistance and efficient heat transfer, while the 48 mm piston is matched to the bore for reliable sealing and smooth operation.

Made to suit the Stihl MS360 and 036 platform, it is a practical choice for regular maintenance or a full top-end refresh when the original components are damaged.
