Stihl MS660 Crankcase Repair

Someone had already tried to repair the crankcase, the pin for the chain-brake lever must've been loose, damaging crankcase, so they taped it out & installed an insert, with a screw used instead of the hardened pin.
The screw had broken off and the customer had attempted to drill it out...I decided to grind it out, build it back up with magnesium & re-drill for pin to be installed.

Also had very worn top cover mount.


I had ground out the insert & built back up with magnesium.
