Great job, that bearing on the drive side is a real pain

I have an idea that I think would solve the problem of PTO side bearing migrating out of alignment during assembly process. If you temporarily installed the oil pump with two screws, it would act as a stop to keep the bearing from being pushed out and then you could remove it after you got the fly wheel side installed. The fly wheel side has a bearing pocket so it’s not a problem on that side.

good idea unless yours is the older style 026 with the plastic pump

I hate to dredge up an old video with a question, but...I've seen some guys use an RTV silicone product when assembling the case in addition to the crankcase gasket. Is this required or is it a belt-and-suspenders kind of situation? It seems like some of your silicone is inevitably going to end up in your crankcase as well as in the bar oil reservoir.

Well, as long as both mating surfaces are flat, you should be fine with just the gasket. What you can do is use a very, very thin coat of Ultra black RTV (stick with ultra black, not grey) and just rub a super super thin amount on the gasket and that will help sealing a bit. But either way is fine. There is also a product called Gasket Chinch which is like a rubber cement sort of deal and you could use that. Myself I'd probably just smear a very, very thin coat of Ultra black RTV on the gasket or just use the gasket by itself. Both methods should be totally fine. The gasket alone should seal fine really.

No you should never use sealant

@@ray5961 So best would be to use Permatex 82180? And if so- can it be used instead of the head gasket to lover the compression on 026? Thank you :)

@@KRAMPUS_G60_16V Do not use any RTV sealant on the head gasket - and absolutely not in place of the head gasket. You need the head gasket. I sometimes use RTV Ultra black on the crankcase gaskets, but only a super, super thin amount on the gasket surface to help seal. As far as increasing the compression ratio... I don't know the stock compression ratio off the top of my head for the 026, but most Stihl saws come pretty wound up from the factory. My advice would be to look to opening up the exhaust muffler / port mildly if you want to extract additional power, or simply upgrade to another larger saw if you need more power. You can also try running different chain, tooth combinations, to help matters out. Unless you are maybe building a competition saw, I would not mess with the stock compression ratio. There is a good book on 2-stroke tuning written by Gordon Jennings. You might want to read that. There are also several other good 2-stoke performance tuning handbooks on Amazon. Keep in mind that your chainsaw does all its work at WOT and pretty close to redline. You aren't building a 2-stroke Yamaha motorcycle here for trail riding. Also, if you are going to be messing around with your saw, be sure to purchase yourself something which will allow you to set the max engine redline electronically at WOT. I, myself, use the TA500 here: www.amazon.com/gp/product/B001TCWMGS Again, please use a good quality head gasket over there :) Also make sure the mating surfaces are clean and flat.

@@ray5961 Wow that was fast and detailed answer! Thank you for your time to explain me this. :) I'm pretty much new in chainsaw world; watching YT videos and learning on my 024 EQS AV WB for last fhew months. I was asking about headgasket delete because I've seen fhew YT videos about basic tuning of the saw without porting, and they mentioned headgasket delete and using sealant instead (grey if I remember well) to get more compression, and a "Muffler mod". I'm not confident about porting but it looks really interesting, and there is plenty of rules to be followed to do it correctly, so I'm skipping that. :) My goal is to give my little 024 a bit more power- nothing special. :) I also got 026 Pro form my neighbour for free, but it's pretty worn out, so the plan is to sell it and buy a better one (026 or MS 260) and also try to get more power from it.

Vaiterman I was using the Breville 840XL, but a few weeks ago one of the solenoids shorted out and the resulting electrical arcing inside ruined the machine. I ended up throwing it away. In the meantime, I purchased a used Illy capsule machine (the Y1.1) to hold me over. I'm considering getting a spring / lever machine to restore at some point

Yeah, install it on the indexing pins to align it during installation.
