The internal engine parts used in Stihl equipment models consist of a crankcase, cylinder head, crankshaft, connecting rod, piston, piston rings, piston pin, bearings and various fasteners. The crankcase of most models including chainsaws and cut off saws is usually formed as part of the power head body. The cylinder head on most Stihl medium and larger models attaches directly on top of the crankcase and it often attaches behind the crankcase on small chainsaws. Pistons and piston rings are available in many sizes and configurations depending on the model and displacement. The same is true for crankshaft and connecting rod parts. Two types of bearing are commonly used on Stihl models; and they include caged roller bearing and ball bearing designs. The most common fasteners are torx head machine screws and various nuts, bolts and clips.
