Been lots of good stuff lately about aftermarket cylinders and pistons going around. Good discussions and interesting comments with some good and bad pictures. As most of you have read, I seem to be in the center of most of them discussions. I need some help, your opinion and expertise. I've never seen nor heard of this done before..... So with that said.. here we go!
I've been doing serious research, bunches of tests going around. Randy and Meteor Kits, Brad and Meteor kits, Jeremy and HyWay Kits, Randy and Mako kits, Rikk and an unknown Chinese kit and now some special kits courtesy of a fellow member hook-up. These were flown in a few weeks ago and I'm just now getting to them. There have been several kits tested already in the MS660 56mm size and 372 52mm sizes with really good results! Those kits are available on my site as we speak and will give outstanding results exactly as they are. I consider these kits grade "A" quality! Probably as good as Meteor or very near... could be better, we'll see.
These new kits are in a smaller size and need a tester to install and report... pictures are expected for all to see. I have looked them over and there should be no problems with them. Quality is excellent, finish is excellent, piston, rings, clips included and I may even have a gasket set to throw in for a couple of them (not sure).
I can offer these to you at cost... to a selected few and in exchange for the reduced cylinder kit cost.... you provide a thread documenting the test, report the measurements of squish and compression. You get to decide what's good and what's bad. I have a limited number of kits, I ask that you can complete the test within a couple weeks. If the cylinder and piston works out, no issues, the saw will run without damaging anything... keep it and run the doggy-dog out of it... you got a great deal and some influence to improve the quality of aftermarket kits for future users.
OR
The kits crap, won't run, might hurt a saw, take some good measurements... send it back with comments why and we ask the manufacturer to make improvements and if he doesn't want to play... we sink'em!
I'd like testers with a good knowledge of saw rebuilding to do these and I reserve the right to pick you. Send me a PM with the model you have ready to rebuild and if chosen... I'll PM you asking for an address. Do not send me a list of 15 saws... one kit per member and I need only a few testers as I have only a few to test. I will name the testers here in this thread and when I've got the number of testers I need, will announce the required testers have been chosen. I am not going to tell you the size of the kits, they are smaller than MS660 and all Stihl kits. Sorry Husky guys, your thread will be coming soon!!
I provide a very good quality kit at a reduced price, you provide a write-up announcing the results for all to see and I give your comments to the manufacturer. I can't test them all, hoping some of you would help?
My PM box is standing by to receive.
