Polar Bear guy, I'm not following you at all. I've posted that I can build a rock solid saw using "good" used OEM cylinders along with a AM piston w/Caber rings for less than $100. Done it more than a dozen times. That is 33% cheaper ($50) than the questionable quality AM kits being offered for $150, and about the same price as many of the entirely questionable crap shoot kits found on Ebay. My experiences have proven to me that OEM cylinders are the way to go. Also, I stated that new Stihl OEM cylinder and piston kits (in the box) are easily found on Ebay for around $150, the same price as the AM kits. Why would one use AM if one could use OEM for the same price, or within $10-$20 difference?
I'm unsure if you're trying to say I don't know what I'm doing, or not, but I haven't burned up any of the 40+ saws I've rebuilt, so I guess I may know something about what causes them to melt down. Saws aint that difficult and this thread isn't about saw failure diagnostics, it's about AM cylinders and their quality, or lack thereof. Why are you bothering me? I'm trying very hard to play nicely. Now, move along and pick a fight with someone else.
