Thanks guys for all your help. The saw came from Vermont from a
guy I used to work with. He done blew it up! However later I
will put up another thread with pictures of the piston and
cylinder. Both the piston and cylinder are scored, the piston
top however is full of BB sized pits. Saw obviously ingested
something. It also appears that someone has been in it before
because of a layer of silicone on the case joint under the
muffler.

I'm sure it will be in good shape when you get done with it.

husky splitter works on these and i think same for clutch. only
special tool that is nice to have is the sleeve to install the
seal and the driver for the seal. there is a lip on the crank
that makes installing the seal impossible without rolling the
lip. tape, plastic bottle, film negative or similar takes the
place of the sleeve and measure the seal depth before
disassembly makes the driver not needed.

Nate, if you have that tool and the sleeve in stock add them to
my order.

Not only does the HVA case splitter work, so does the flywheel
side crank installation tool work to get the flywheel off
without damage to the crank threads and the 288 seal sleeve will
also work on the step in the clutch side seal installation as
Nate mentioned!
Should have all the parts from Nate in a few days to begin
reassembly.
Also found the reason the saw blew up. Looks like an air leak on
the clutch side that caused the ring to stick in the piston
groove just to the right of the exhaust port, then the ring
caught in the ports on the flywheel side and broke parts out
both above and below the ring groove. Unbelievably the ring
remained in one piece!
I will put up some pics tomorrow, right now it is beer-thirty!
Thanks for everyone's help!

I assume you don't need the seal tools now. make sure on
reassembly to "glue" the bearings in the case. heard of it but
haven't seen it personally. the bearings will spin in the case.

Gluing the bearings in is typical of all the newer Solo
collaboration Dolmar chainsaws from this century.

The WM I have specifies LocTite 601 for the bearing glue . In
researching 601 I find that there is an improved 'oil tolerant'
formula LocTite 603. Both of the products are expensive 30$ for
a small amount. Anyone tried the 603 product or have another
recommendation?

Those Service Manuals were written back in the early part of the
century.
