When Do You Need This Piston Kit?

You would purchase this kit if your BR600 has one of the following symptoms, confirmed by a teardown and inspection:

• Engine Seizure: The engine is locked up and will not turn over. This is often caused by a fuel mixture with too little oil (not using a proper 50:1 mix), an air leak, or a clogged carburetor causing a lean condition.

• Loss of Compression: The engine has little to no power, won't start, or fails a compression test (a healthy engine should have over 120-130 PSI).

• Visible Cylinder Damage: Upon disassembly, you find deep scoring, scratches, or galling on the cylinder wall and the piston.

• Broken Piston or Rings: A catastrophic failure, often indicated by loud knocking noises before the engine died.

Important Considerations Before Buying/Installing

• Cylinder Inspection is Critical: This is a standard-sized (50mm) piston kit. It will only work if your original cylinder is in good condition or can be honed. If the cylinder walls are deeply scored or damaged, you will need a new cylinder as well. Many mechanics recommend a matched cylinder and piston kit (STILL part number 4282-030-2005/2003) for the most reliable repair.

• Diagnose the Root Cause: Simply replacing the piston without fixing the initial problem will lead to another failure. The most common causes of piston failure in these engines are:

  • Air Leaks: Check crankshaft seals, intake boot, and carburetor gaskets.

  • Fuel Issues: Old/gummed fuel, incorrect oil ratio, or a clogged/corroded carburetor.

  • Dirty Air Filter: Allowing dirt into the engine causes abrasive wear.

• Professional Installation Recommended: Rebuilding a two-stroke engine requires specific tools (like a piston ring compressor and torque wrench), mechanical knowledge, and attention to detail. Incorrect installation can instantly destroy the new parts.

Installation Steps (Summary)

This is a general guide. Always refer to the official STIHL workshop manual for precise instructions and torque specifications.

1. Disassembly: Remove the blower from the frame, then remove the fuel tank, carburetor, air filter, and muffler.

2. Remove the Cylinder: Unbolt and carefully lift the cylinder head and cylinder off the crankcase.

3. Remove Old Piston: Remove the circlips, push out the wrist pin, and remove the old piston from the connecting rod.

4. Clean and Inspect: Thoroughly clean the crankcase and the top of the connecting rod. Inspect the connecting rod and crankshaft bearings for play or damage.

5. Install New Bearing: Press the new needle bearing onto the connecting rod.

6. Install New Piston: Lubricate the new wrist pin and needle bearing with two-stroke oil. Carefully install the new piston (ensure the arrow on the piston crown points toward the exhaust port), insert the wrist pin, and secure it with new circlips.

7. Install Rings on Piston: Fit the new piston rings, ensuring the ring end gaps are properly spaced and not aligned.

8. Reinstall Cylinder: Place a new cylinder gasket on the crankcase. Use a ring compressor to compress the piston rings and carefully slide the cylinder back over the piston. Bolt the cylinder down to the specified torque in a crisscross pattern.

9. Reassemble: Reinstall the muffler, carburetor, intake components, fuel tank, and blower tube.

10. Break-In Period: After starting, run the engine at a varied throttle (not full throttle for extended periods) for several tanks of fuel to allow the new piston and rings to seat properly.
