But it's not bicycle engine.com approved method...

Yeah but I watch them break a piston trying to put bushings in.

Buy one put a 070 jug on it...

I think the 070 & 090 stihl has a 16mm piston pin.

I received the needle bearing from Amazon today. It measures exactly as advertised. Tomorrow I will install and report back. The credit belongs to Diesel tech for his find.

I looked long & hard for that bearing, theres others but I'm hoping this is the 1 needed & is a quality bearing. I try to help out when I can.

Well the inner diameter was perfect. But the outer diameter of the needle bearing was about .1 mm too large to fit into the connecting rod.☹. I have a RDM bushing on it's way and should be here today. I sure had my heart set on a needle bearing for this engine. Attached is a photo of this needle bearing along side the graphene bushing.

Man was hoping that be the bearing needed. So its .1mm too big, I was wondering that? Sorry if I F'd on that bearing, it's a touch over the size listed on sellers dimensions. Dang it!!! Sorry again.
