Review on ๐Ÿ”ง Stens 700-842 Plastic Piston Stop,Black: A Reliable Tool for Engine Maintenance by Shima Hennigan

Revainrating 3 out of 5

Can take off easily!

Suitable for removing the chainsaw clutch, but can be easily removed! If you are trying to find the correct torque setting to install a chainsaw clutch we would recommend either buying a pair or getting a metal piston stop as there is a risk of damaging the cylinder head. I should probably remove all parts from Poulan products with a torque wrench and document them during disassembly, rather than relying on magical non-existent documentation to pop up when needed. Although some specifications are documented, they are not documented with the same level of accuracy as the smaller Briggs and Stratton engines. CONCLUSION Don't waste your money working with an old or used chainsaw! Most likely, they are intended for mounting new chainsaws. If you're lucky and your clutch isn't over 15 ft/lbs and your oily worm gear comes off easily and doesn't freeze to the crankshaft, this plastic tool may work just fine. Otherwise you will likely find the clutch to be over 15 ft/lbs many times and the oily worm gear will likely freeze to the crankshaft due to excessive heat/wear!
