Efco 165 Case Split
By: farmboy Date: August 23, 2014, 7:11 am
---------------------------------------------------------
Split 165 yesterday NOS saw I sold. 1 tank of my fuel 32:1
cooked piston. Bad crank bearing flywheel side. Suprise
splitter not needed came apart like our Poulans (2800,
3500,etc.). Bearing was looser on shaft on flywheel side than
clutch side. Flywheel side slid right off shaft. Clutch side
had to use a little force. Did use splitter on that side but
didn't need to a little tap with a hammer would have been
enough. Will measure crank journals today as I want to use crank
in a 962 project saw. Giving him another NOS 165 to replace it.
Probably gonna just part this one out. Should be able to get a
little more than cost back parting it. Not worth it to me to
fix it.

Yep! Vac leak cooked piston. Cyl is salvagable I'm pretty
sure. Was going to fix it but I'll get more out of it for parts
than I would running. Been trying to move em @ $300.00+ship.
Several bites no takers.

Split a running (I don't know why piston scored) parts 165 today
had to use Husky splitter. Makes me wonder about the new crank
out of the other one. Haven't had time to mic it.
