Got a bunch of them - I like em' just fine. Pretty much 3 for the price of 1 OEM kit. Not that big of a quality difference.

I have not yet tried any cylinders,but the pistons are good (and cheap)and
the service from Lukas is excellent!

I just put together an 066 with a GB top-end kit. The quality looked good and the saw runs real strong!

I'm glad to see this thread as my 650 is getting due for a top end....I might have to try one myself

Got 4 saws running with them

2 066's 1 460 BB and 1 440 BB the big bore kits are from Baileys,,,

The 066's Are AIP piston kits that Dean reccomended and I put them in OEM cylinders and I have pounded the crap out of em falling but mostly flush cutting some big stumps going on a year and I just [pulled the muffler and inspected my port work) on the oldest one and it looked great!!!!!!!!

You get what you pay for. Last I checked the Golf pistons are not all that great... finish, consistency, pin/bore tolerances, heavy pins (use your OLD OEM pin), wimpy clips, etc. But.. if you are on a serious budget, you do what you have to. I'd rather pay more now, and have the saw last forever (again).

I sure wish the aftermarket crowd would follow the car parts model and offer a better grade of parts at a higher price - say half Stihl list price... why compete only at the bottom of the barrel?

Lakeside is right about the whimpy clips!
