    I'd love a 166 just to shut up umm, quiet down all the Stihl heads that think an 090 was the ultimate lump of lead, err, saw
    Rick, this will break your heart. When I got out of the woodcutting game, I gave them both (I had two) to my brother. He, against my advice "tuned" them and blew them both up in a month.

    I see if he still has them though. If you can get a barrel and piston, you would certainly upset a couple of stihl 90 owners

    I'll find out.

    Tom.

    Guess what are the two things you can't find anymore for the 166

    A collector in the US had the US race piston manufacturer Wiseco make a batch of forged pistons a few years ago. A few blokes even raced them still and were after pistons. Apparently the originals were made by Kolbenschmidt in Germany but they don't/won't make anymore.
    Lee might have a couple left

    Thats not a bad looking piston. Very similar to the original KS Husky 2100 thin ring full circle. Looks like it has good skirt width for widening ports. If is the correct specs for a 166 then Id say thats a winner

    Don't know what the cost would be, but I don't think it would be that astronomical. This guy might have the answer.

    Tom, I'm really starting to hope you turn a saw or two up

    I don't know where that ebay piston is made, but if it's an Italian made Meteor or Golf it'd be very well made and it'd be nice to have some old girls running again.

    They made an excellent race saw too.

    There's an old bloke around here has two and still uses them, and AFAIK he still has all his digits, limbs and head attached, much to my amazement.

    Like any tool they deserve respect, lots of them never had clutches which is a bit silly. I would not use one without a clutch.
