Later 044 saws use a 12mm wrist pin with a different cylinder, 1128 020 1227, and the MS440 is 12mm only, so this kit does not fit an MS440. The difference goes deeper than the piston: the connecting rod small end changed as well, from the 14mm rod of the 10mm era, 1128 030 0401, to the 15mm rod, 1128 030 0406. A 12mm pin crankshaft cannot accept a 10mm piston. The cylinders also differ in ring locating pin position and port layout, and the ring ends of a 12mm piston can catch in the intake port of a 10mm cylinder. How to tell which you have: pull the muffler and look at the piston, or remove the cylinder. The published serial break is quoted as both X 29 583 701 and X 29 382 283 by different sources, which contradict each other, so the serial number alone cannot decide it. The angled cooling fin pattern is often cited as the tell, but early 12mm saws shipped with angled fin cylinders during the changeover. Engine reference: the 044 is 70.7cc, 50mm bore by 36mm stroke. The 046 and MS460 are 52mm and nothing crosses. Not included: base gasket, decompression valve, exhaust gasket, connecting rod bearing or crankshaft seals. Before fitting, check the connecting rod for side play, inspect the needle bearing, check the crankshaft seals and intake boot for hardness, and pressure test the crankcase, because a new top end fitted over an air leak will scuff within a tank of fuel.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e10MM WRIST PIN ONLY - CONFIRM YOURS BEFORE ORDERING - This is the 50mm cylinder and piston assembly for the early Stihl 044, built with a 10mm wrist pin, replacing 1128 020 1201. Later 044 saws use a 12mm pin and a different cylinder, 1128 020 1227. The MS440 is 12mm only and this kit does not fit it.
